Drat and double drat

I have my first frozen pipe

Washbasin in the downstairs ' utility' room - is a shower room but the washing machine drains into the waste pipe from the wash hand basin .

How did I find this out ? Filled the washing machine and started it working then rinsed my paws and found the darn water was not draining.

Now that bathroom is actually heated overnight so I'm really irritated - and of course I've had to turn off the washing machine and now I've a load of wet washing in it


Back to the kettle trying to thaw out this pipe

They are good in colour

The last one - full of interesting textures and colours - lots of variations on the hues - now that is absolutely stunning - I LOVE it

That first shot is absolutely stunning - the colours are so delicate in the reflection .

I'd also like to see a bit of the sand at the bottom cropped out .

Andrew

these are great This seems to be a very successful type of photography for you . You find these interesting Sites - and then take wonderful shots that leave us all wondering about them , you show us textures and odd little snippets of life that has been abandoned .

Please keep giving us shots like these

Enjoy Christmas everyone

May all your pressies take up lots of room under the tree and my they all be photography related.

Have a great day !

I should have been in Edinburgh today - but decided to stay at home - snow was forecast for Edinburgh this morning and Glasgow this afternoon .

For once the forecast was more or less correct - we did get snow this afternoon but we had some this morning as well.

Barrie - hope your 2 travellers manage to keep warm while they wait

How absolutely fascinating . You are very lucky to live near there

Jeff - how big is this church ? Is the Iconostasis still standing or indeed was there ever one ?

I'm fascinated

I think it's the symmetry in the windows that has really caught my eye - i's a gorgeous shot - thanks for dealing with the sill

just wish I could manage stuff like that - one of these days I hope .....

I love the arched window and its paint pot but is it me or is it slightly not quite 100% straight ?

I think the landscape is good - both in Monochrome AND colour [ and as everyone knows I normally prefer colour but do come out strongly in favour of B&W from time to time ]
