20240628_1024_R62-165 Utility Box {Explored}
The map is wrong, this is not in Bexley, but in Palmers Road, New Brighton. Bexley is the other side of the Avon River.
Thank you for taking the time to view my photo, and for the faves and comments you make.

Heavy overcast at a natural gas utility building in Griffin, Georgia

One of the shots I took, and prepped as a candidate for my new entry to LEGO Ideas. Please support here: ideas.lego.com/projects/2384769b-f69c-401e-a7a3-840e96ab7156
A small spaceship I imagine being some sort of exploratory vehicle operating out of a larger space station. The build was a fun vessel for messing with angles possible using cheese slopes,
It was colder today so, after our state sanctioned exercise walk outside, I sat in the kitchen for half an hour and sketched the utility room throughout open door. Some of these houses have had the two rooms made into one to enlarge the kitchen but we prefer to have the original arrangement. The room is formed in a little structure with a lean-to roof, ideal for housing the washing machine, fridge and boiler that frees up space in the kitchen and removes the noise of the appliance a bit further from the living rooms. It was originally a wash house and wc, the shelf we use for the microwave and toaster formerly being where the sink was. Having been the wash house it conveniently has a drain and water supply separate to the kitchen. We have had the wc removed, providing more storage space. Drawn with a Staedtler 0.3mm pigmentliner pen in an A4 cartridge paper sketchbook.
A local power utility station in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. I like the way a long lens can flatten a scene and create a sense of chaos in an image. Here, the out of focus posts are fairly close to the camera, whereas the utility station is quite far away.
One day in June, I decided to load up a couple of old cameras with some 135 format, black and white, film. One was a Nikon FTn with a 35 mm lens that I gave to me daughters. They are seven and nine years old, and were interested in learning some photography. I loaded a Spotmatic 1 for myself. I planned to shoot the whole roll with a 300 mm lens, but some of the shots were taken with other lenses.
Check out an album containing more of my photos shot in 2018.

I spend a fair amount of processing time removing utility poles, cables and lines from the background of photos. At best I find them distracting and often they work against my storyline of remote and desolate locations. Not that power lines don't exist in remote locales. It's just that for me, unless the power lines-poles play a part in telling the story, it's just visual clutter that detracts from the overall image. So I shoot around them whenever possible, either to minimize their presence, or make it easier to digitally remove them later. But sometimes it's useless, and this image is a case in point. I suppose I could have gotten rid of the background poles (although it would have been painstaking where they overlap the clouds), but decided not to bother. For one thing, I needed a photo with a very glaring pole in order to illustrate this narrative. And two, the presence of the poles doesn't really lower the impact of (or reason for taking) the photo. My main thought here was to show the striking, high contrast landscape that seems to dominate sunny days at this point in the year. The low sun angle seems to capture a million points of texture, and even the shadows seem alive. That story would be the same here, poles or no poles. I love how the pine boughs help frame the top of the photo. I stood here for quite a while, studying the light and working with the composition and exposure. The trick with these is to come up with a solution that holds the sky detail as well as the shadows, and produces a dramatic lens flare.

The vignetting was not intentional, but is a happy accident.
engine lonnings in carlisle is pylon city. i would like to formerly apologies for the volume of pylon and pylon related image i will be uploading this week!
Really old build, like from almost three years ago. I was really happy with it when I built it, just never came up with a name I liked until I tried some more today. Happy to finally post it now though!! Expect a scene soon too, I've been working on one and I'm really liking how it's turning out. Check out my instagram (@legomania211) for updates on that and any other LEGO stuff.
Utility room African style with a wood-fired boiler in the corner, called "donkey," and the job instructions for the farm workers on the wall.
The photo was taken on Farm Rietfontein, Dordabis, and uploaded for Monochrome Monday....and Wall Wednesday.

Fat chair/bench among the water meters. . . a place for the gardener to eat his lunch, perhaps, back in the days when there were hired gardeners? A curious frame. . .
HBM!!
I appreciate what appears to be a handmade chair--certainly not bought ready-made from a store--back in the 1920s.
