Let's not let this die out again so quick!

Very diligent ^^ DL-44 you've talked me into it
The first three photos of the docks were taken a year or two ago. I quite often take the dock road route on my journey home from my Ma's to my place and I love stopping off to marvel at the huge old warehouses. These date back hundreds of years to a time when the port of Liverpool was a very busy place.
I'm planning to go inside some of these places soon to take some more shots, I'm still waiting for permission from the Docks and Harbour Board.

Also a very industrious time for all the creatures raising or preparing to raise familys too. I did not notice the eggs untill I loaded the photos into the computer. Last year they raised five signets.










[doh]Forgot to post the pictures[/doh]

/me hugs the environmentalism in the asylum

Heh, even the swans are recycling

DL, those images are just f***** brilliant, as is the presentation; we might have to gang up and get ya reduced to exibitor status only

AS an old, well aging, powder monkey, I especially liked #7 of the jammed drill steel. Looks like they wound it off, trying to pull back with the incorrect rotation... still, when they jam ya just gotta try what ya can.

Note to self... "try harder; must sort photos"

while I'm flattered, I know very well that many people here pretty consistantly have much higher quality photos than mine!

The photo you mention - that area is a several mile long stretch of unfinished highway. Unfinished for the last 30 + years that is. I recall at least a half a dozen of the drill shafts dotted throughout...

=)

I should maybe qualify; I meant particularly with regard to the number and relevance to the weekly topic.

I agree that there are several members, Shi comes to mind immediately, that produce images of outstanding quality; us mere loonies can only dabble on the sidelines

Kimson, Tao: well done, you showed the darth vader side of industry/industrialization..the ecological impact.

DL-44: very nice collection (and you got the headstone in once more!)

Sorry but the best I can do is Tourist Industry.

Lovely sleepingwolf =)
Though surely you must have some industrious little critters in your collection as well

Tao - love the scrap-heap. Funny enough I was browsing an architectural history book this evening, and there was a photo of those dock warehouses. what are the odds?

Tried to get a few more different "Industries"



(Edit) The small brown ants are actually attacking the bigger green ants, killing them and carting them off (/Edit)

I don't have any beavers building dams..yet...but this little guy is busy chomping away at his snowball.

Tee hee; now all he needs is a shot of vodka

Fantastic Ian - I would have been disappointed if ants didn't make it in here.

Beautiful sleepingwolf...

Here are some photos representing several industries:

oops, forgot about my own topic

Kimson - how about you choose another topic that you can contribute to

I'll give this another day and then we can move on to someone else if Kimson doesn't make it back around...

Hey hang on, I just came back from holiday, take it easy!

Thank you very much DL-44, I am very honoured as this was my first contribution! Ok, I will think about it in the next hour - actually I know that I had an idea a few days ago, just in case, so I'll try and remember it - and will edit this post to anounce the new topic!

*drum rolls*

[edit] Go there... Hope it has not been done before, but I don't think so [/edit]
