Graduated Cylinders
Martin Varga says these are not silos, but are standpipes....water columns used to control the water pumps for the local water district....they remind me of the graduated cylinders we used in chemistry class over 40 years ago.

commented 6 months agoMartin, thanks...it was a real touch and go shot, as the light kept changing slightly, changing the balance and overall feel. The swirls and textures all seemed to move in a non-linear progression...I felt like I was trying to solve a polynomial function with irrational roots that should be discarded in normal calculation, but were actually the correct solution set! In fact, much of the shooting that day was like that.
It was like a shearing force that would periodically stall and allow a series of events to occur in the time window. The resulting ventilation would bleed off like a matrix accelerator; e.g. Fourier transform, allowing the light to reflect in a favorable manner.

commented 6 months agoLove this shot Wayne! Love the light and the layers of green and gold.
The standpipes are used to control the operation of the pumps for the local water storage district. They show up really nice in this image.
