Towers #1

Posted by P J W Miller (Chase Terrace, United Kingdom) on 10 May 2009 in Architecture and Portfolio.

Back to my theme on towers (as seen in portfolio). This time, more local, approx 4 mile from where live. I just wanted to see how cool cooling towers can be or to try and sex them up a little.

Me and my camera(s) will travel both locally and as far as is physically allowable within the constraints of this our local celestial body and provide images from a purely subjective point of view for your evaluation and commentation .

Locally based near Lichfield

If you have the time I would appreciate constructive comments please and in return for your honesty my comments on your work will also be constructive.

A brief message to all the brothers and sisters of AM3 and other photographic blog sites. It is a great feeling to get so many warm and constructive comments from all of you all over the world , it is good to be able to communicate in a friendly manner with no hint of racism, sexism or other ism's. It is good to be able to see what lies in your part of the world and to be able to give constructive comments on your work.

The brilliant building does help give the cooling towers some help. This shot excels with its intense colors and detail. Nice one.
