Full of Gas

Really like the second one. I laughed at the upside down trolley.

i always like your photo-montages, actually...

and the gasworks are an endlessly fascinating photo subject, for sure...

ta, myke, i liked it too and put a portrait of it in abject objects

peter, i don't mind being a bit obviously not perfect about it, but at the same time get a jag of guilt for not trying a bit harder for some dopey reason. bah
the pics i montaged together were pretty nice stand alones, but i get a bit worried for people who don't have the grrr either in their puter or their bandwidth to take a zillion big pictures all at once. also it is good to get the panoramic view when it exists

Yes happy new year ram. Seriously! But hey, yeah i wish i had a cool nickname like rockin al. I always like your gas towers. I can still remember being amazed by my dad telling me what they were and why they went up and down. Everything is much cooler when you're a kid.

Gasworks are cool. As a kid I could never quite get my head around how gas made them go up and down. I thought that it was just how many of those little camper gas bottles they had stacked in there at any time. Here's a nickname for you; Jamie SLR.

those gastowers have particular resonance for me. short version of the long story is that I named a computer, which lived behind the robot building, after them. I particularly like the "stitch up" because gastowers should definitely not be wonky! I'd call that one "Three Crowns" (there is an outcrop called that in Poland just by the Slovakian border).

speak for yourself, j, i still think they are cool. i am a fool for anything big and especially engineery things, like the forth rail bridge images.google.co.uk/images?q=firth+of+forth+rail+bridge&svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&start=0&sa=N or the gherkin, or that has moving parts. i bought my onetime boyfriend a watch that has perpetual motion which you could see happening through a window in the back. he didn't like it. we split up

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: 3rd Jan 2006 - 13:51 GMT

He was a fool and a cad. Did he give the watch back?

Catherine Penfold-Waxman: 3rd Jan 2006 - 16:22 GMT

Ok, so he's just a fool who doesn't know what time it is.
