Pipe Dream

[Coastal Flyer]

Saw this on the side of the Western Metals Supply building while walking around downtown. Seems like such a nightmare solution to a simple problem. The "R" is from the word Western.

Looks like some of Larry, Moe and Curly's handy work. Nice capture CF I like the destaurated look to it.

EOS/Gary:

Thanks for taking a look. It caught my eye was just something fun to fool around with.

Thanks, Doc.

This scene looked like a photo waiting to happen. I appreciate the comments.

I like it for the whimsey and how well you shot it.
I'd guess they didn't have the right pipe and just started putting pieces together until they fit.

I've seen that place I think. I like the idea and angle. The pipe might be blown/lost out a bit, which is something that was almost inevitable with the background being almost the same color and very bright on the corners. Still, takes a good eye to catch these,

really sharp photo, what camera do you use?

Frog/GB/peckman:

Thanks very much for the comments. I appreciate it very much. GB, this "scene" is one side of the Western Metals Supply Building at Petco Park just above the door entering a restaurant. Peckman, I am shooting a Canon 40D these days. Just got it at Christmas and am having a great time with it thus far.

Thanks again.

Nice catch.

As far as the photo goes; I understand that you wanted the best angle on the pipe to show how crazy it is but that put the letter "R" crooked in the frame. I think a crop from the left to remove the dark brick and hide that the "R" isn't straight.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will play with it and see what happens.
