Flock of spools
Spool-yard, clear area near train tracks
Hopkins Road and Belt
Yes, I'm still playing with the black and white conversion feature of my camera. And I have lots of spool pictures. Watch this space for future spool excitement. Till then, try saying "flock of spools" over and over, fast.
This roadside area was full of these giant spools wrapped round in huge white plastic hose. I don't know what the hose might be used for. It's at least sixteen inches around. You'd think anything needing that kind of capacity would use pipes.
Train tracks run behind the trees. While we were wandering amongst the spools and looking at all the stuff dumped in a fenced in area marked "No dumping", a freight train blasted by. I'm used to the trains that run through town, they all have to slow down, but this one was not in a residential area and it was moving at full speed.
Thus endeth the adventure of spools.
