Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. Any comments or Faves are very much appreciated.
Strange sky tonight. This pic doesn't capture the effect... There clouds were in bands, so the sky had stripes of blue/grey and orange/yellow. It was cool.
Pavel P. found out that this is a work by Josef Pleskot (a Czech architect), who also designed other buildings in this industrial site. The sculpture here is called "Steel Phoenix" and should evoke wings of this mythical bird that are symbolically lifting up a blast furnace from the ashes...

Sadly, our world is covered with way too much of this kind of wire... rather than the high-speed digital kind.

Just some picture hanging wire, looked at up close. Lit with an LED lamp bulb. Tweaked in Exposure X4.

The saying probably comes from a telephone switchboard analogy. When telephone operators had to manually connect two parties with wires. If they put the wires into the wrong plugs, people would think they were talking one person but actually be talking to another. This would cause misunderstandings, as they would be talking about different things. Hence, their wires were crossed.
Yes, that's little me up there. I chickened out at the start. It was too windy. But once I had got back in the swing of things on some lesser rocks on the other side, I decided I just had to try again. But when you have climbed the safety rails and then climbed up to stand out on top of a boulder on the edge of an undercut cliff about 40feet high in the dark........well. So I went back for a second try to save the other guys putting themselves at risk. But it was so windy (not to mention the cold) and spinning the wire wool I found the sparks blew straight back in my face forcing me to shut my eyes, swing this thing vigorously above my head and make sure I kept my balance on the top of the rock......above the cliff. Conscious that there are some folk out there who love me I did it twice and said enough is enough. The shot is not as good as I've had on a previous visit but this time we went for a lower view point to get the height of the cliff. I need to prepare better (perhaps with a safety rope) and go back on a less windy day!

I tried to get a cappuccino look/colour to the background.
