Another Tower Build

“If you give away your arse, you’ll have to shite through your ribs”

That little pearl of wisdom was often quoted by my grandfather. Made good sense, don’t give away something you need, although I don’t think he ever took his own advice as he gave away everything.

The original Tower Kit I built for display I lent out to a store, and needing one for a local train show tomorrow (Copetown) I had to quickly build another one. I finished it up this morning, here are a few shots.

Sitting next to some glasses, for scale.

I did a quick count, this is the 5th one of these I have built. Got it down to about 4 hours.

Picture of the Day – Feb. 19, 2009

Dofasco. Hamilton, Ontario

I shot this image 3 years ago on an exploration trip around the industrial areas of Hamilton.

update

I have been asked what was done to the image as it looks a bit edited.

Here is the image in its original form. I adjusted the contrast to remove some of the “haze” in the image. A bit of saturation and sharpening was also done.
