Controlled by graemestevens

Controlled

My secret island base, or Evil Lair if you prefer, where I train crack troops, hatch evil plots, surround myself with servile minions (fashionably attired in black of course) and generally prepare myself for imminent World Domination conveniently masquerades as a tropical island getaway in the Pacific. It comes complete with a retractable swimming pool concealing a missile silo. These are the gauges and pipes which control that retractable pool.

Then again this could just be a gas manifold for a reticulation system at one of my clients workshops. I apologise for misleading you, but all the good industrial gas related jokes argon...
Love the industrial/abstract shapes with those flashes of vibrant colour.

I was ready to sign up too! Loved the cut off point on the home page and incorrectly read it as 'conveniently masquerading as ...Graeme Stevens!'

I agree with @yaorenliu. You must be on something to see a photo in this, however it works!
April 8th, 2014  
@yaorenliu definitely not a P lab, but an aluminium smelter
@deliad thanks, I think...
