Thanks ... your comments are most appreciated. For me, it's especially nice that it is a "found" photo - the scene is exactly as I saw it when passing by. Plus, it was fun to shoot as I had to stand in the middle of the street as cars went past me and around me in either direction. Also, while setting up for the shot, a big door to the right of the frame was opened, blocking the view of the pipes, and I had to wait until a truck was done unloading and the door closed before making the exposure. So there I was, standing in the middle of the street, camera mounted on the tripod, just waiting for the right moment <LOL>
