Water Tower Antennae

This tower was on a council estate on the edge of a small town called Lanark in Scotland. The structure took me by surprise, the mobile phone antennae on top of the tower intriguing me as to what sort of frequency messages they might be encouraging the water to remember?!

Birthday Girl

A self-portrait I took on the 5th January. For obvious reasons I was quite disturbed by this image, as I was unintentionally wearing khaki with large boots, the desert quads in the background also looking quite military. The Egyptian gentlemen however seemed quite amused at this, they were perhaps used to seeing western tourists wrapped up in these Arab textiles, that they incidentally were selling to protect us from the desert sand.

Road to Cairo

I don't speak Arabic, but this sign caught my attention whilst on a bus journey between Suez and Cairo. According to an Egyptian friend, these signs appear at various points along routes, and is one of a number of variations reminding one of Allah. A modern totem of faith perhaps, and a good luck symbol for travel, much like the Christian version of St Christopher.

Carbon Positive

Fife, since the Industrial Revolution has always been associated with heavy industry. The coal faces since the eighties have all but gone, some of them being built upon in recent years with private 'box' housing. This however is a wee jewel in the Kingdom's crown, a reminder that the hydrocarbon chain is alive and kicking. This is Mossmorran, Fife's Ethylene Plant, courtesy of ExxonMobil and Shell.
