Copper Curves

Am I finally coming out of my introverted isolation exacerbated by covid fears? Don't know yet but did get out and found some interesting shots.

I like it. Copper is a wonderful metal. It has been used by humans for 7,000 years. It is soft, yet very heavy. It is a great conductor and won't rust.

A nice image. I might add a little more contrast with a curve or whatever.

Was it really in this orientation? My first reaction was to rotate it 90 degrees counter clockwise, but that's a less interesting perspective than this one.

I like it Judith. I agree with Dan that the image lacks contrast and adding some would make sense.

The construction looks like an old fire tube boiler and if that is the case, the orientation makes sense. What bothers me a little about the description is when you suggest that these are copper tubes; copper tends to have a more red hue than we see here. These pipes look yellow, like brass fittings and piping.

That being said, you could be right and the lighting could be playing tricks on the colours.

Thanks Manfred, Dan and Peter. This is part of a jet engine as displayed at the Boeing Museum of Flight. The orientation is as displayed but I guess it would sit every which way during use! I did try more contrast and found it equally interesting but chose this version to post. Perhaps it is brass--not really sure. But it looked like the copper pipes in our house.

An interesting and appealing image, a plumber's nightmare !
Brass or copper - who cares ?
