More wood, less metal

We pass an industrial estate on one of Winston’s walks.
 

machines in line

 
Normally this area is full of company lorries – or employee’s cars – or it has Caterpillar heavy equipment set 3 or 4 deep waiting to be taken around the country. For a few weeks now though there have been no cars, no earth-movers, just wood.

Thousands and thousands of wooden pallets stacked high and deep. The only noise we have heard is the small machine that stacks it all up. The beep-beep-beep as it reverses.

It was strange seeing all the machinery parked so squarely and the lorries so carefully but this is .. spooky almost.

    I just added another above the two you like.

    I like looking at them at night under those lamps. During the day it’s drab, lifeless. I don’t have your architectural eye :)

    yeah, the harsh lighting definitely makes them more interesting, seeing how nearly perfectly they’re stacked, and the play of light where they’re slightly out of line
