I don't know what the 'artist' was on when he made whatever that is. LOL But I think one can safely assume this is a chemically inspired art work. It's located in a tiny village that sits in a valley between two huge mountains in a remote part of the state. There are no chickens or cows within 50 miles. Comments from people viewing it included, hideous, stupid, wtf is that?

Re: Photo Comp - Chat Thread
My entry this month ticks something off my list of photos to take so thanks for choosing the subject Careless. I read an interesting piece about this place in the English Heritage magazine last year and it tweaked my interest in unusual architecture.
Thought to be the only surviving example of Parasol Canopies from the 1960's in the UK this is now a Grade II listed site. The magazine showed photos of it in the original Mobil colours but checking out the location for my visit I noted they're now in BP green, which is a shame as I think the blue was nicer. Read more if you like on the Historic England site at http://list.historicengland.org.uk/r...type=mapsearch A couple more images too.

Re: Photo Comp - Chat Thread
I'm glad stuff like that is being saved, I remember seeing petrol stations like that when I was a kid. it's kinda cool that at least one is bing saved.

Re: Photo Comp - Chat Thread
Thanks Richie for sorting my photo. I was having the most awkward time trying to get it the right size from my phone!
Anyhow, the Tinners' Hounds are made from the boots left over when Geevor tin mine finally closed. These are cast, and are street art in Redruth
