whatever comes out of there the moss sure likes it. Nice one, Pete.

Thanks, Brian. Seaweed.

I like this image a lot. I wonder what a tight closeup of one or more of those rubber squares might look like. They look like they have some abstract patterns on them, especially the one on the left side of the photo.

I'm just glad we don't have smellavision yet!

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks, John. I didn't get that close - no dedication!

Hamish is working on it I believe, Rob!

Excellent Pete , I like the new formal shapes among the old worn and the blue is superb.

If this is in Europe, we have many beaches with outlets, but as far as sewerage here it is very clean and these outlets are used only in extreme cases of overfill and emergency. Basically dont stand in front in heavy flooding. As a child swimming in our harbour, you'd always swim past a bobbing brown canoe. No idea to this day why we called them little brown canoes. Then there was the loo which straddled across the span of the corner of the inner tidal harbour, for all to see what came out at low water.
''Bloody Europe'' the'd say, ''making us clean our environment''

This is the outlet from the Margate Wastewater Pumping Station just north of Botany Bay in Kent, England.

Thanks, Julian.

I gave some comments on my pad, apparently it does not show here. A fine image and some times sewage can appear nice till you get too close to it

Colourful topic...but you would be ok standing where you took the image as it would all run off to the left, given the sloping horizon....
