this post today is a compare and contrast of some images:
- one a fairly typical event from my fieldwork
- and
- one from something we saw in iceland (of course!).
this one is from the mud pit that the drillers use to settle and recirculate the fluids so that they can keep drilling a hole without it getting too hot and clogged up. a mundane and usually dull process, but sometimes when all the scum floats and swirls endlessly in a most fascinating way......i end up leaning over and watching the sump and not the other things that i should be paying attention to.
this one is of the peeling painted side of a tank in the fishing town of Grindavik. it's getting quite weathered and looks wholly fascinating and frivolous where it is located on the working-dockside of this fishing town (as is typical in iceland you can get access to practically anywhere by blundering in).
it's rather like an endlessly frozen moment of the swirling scum from the sump:
my eye got thoroughly stuck on it, and wouldn't move.
i kind of hope they don't have to ever do any repairs.......and i wish now that i had spent an hour making photos of this, but there were soooo many other things we had yet to see......and so will you, eh?
i've got more of these kind of shots, if you would like a selection for your delection?
