The Art of Civil(?) Engineering II

One of my all-time favourite sights in Leeds are the gas holders dotted around the city.

They have weathered in a very pleasing manner.

Beautiful shades of rust and blue predominate, and I never tire of gazing at them. Normally I can’t indulge in a vey long gaze. Their placements are invariably just off the urban motorways and major junctions around the city, which usually means a quick glance as I flash by in the passing traffic.

Today though I was walking past and had to time to mess around taking a photo.

Beautiful, huh?

I am a contemporary visual artist living and working in Leeds fascinated and inspired by the absurdity of the world I live in and observe around me. I have this idea that if I can document my experiences and insights (such as they are) by every means possible then maybe, just maybe, I can make some sense of it all.

    Your photo has a kind of retro look, very nice. There are some wonderful bits of engineering about aren’t there.
