Outside my house, again

Earlier this week they prepared the road for resurfacing and last night the Iron Men came back with the new tarmac. Again I was fascinated by the whole thing. Very noisy but very exciting too.

If you've time it's so much better big on black.

That is a fascinating picture ... your processing here is superb.
(If I dare offer a suggestion ... you might consider cropping off the triangle in the foreground. I think it would strengthen the picture even further).
A runaway favourite.

This is excellent, full of energy and atmosphere. I do agree with @irisr on the triangle. I actually zoomed in on the image to cut the triangle out - while viewing on black. Looks awesome, a fav for me 😊

[Rachel Withey]

I love this shot - particularly the small colour palette and the steam and it does look fab on black. I was interested in the views about the triangle in the foreground; I don't mind it as I think it gives some extra context. Fav

This image is an attention grabber, so much going on, yet depicts a rather mundane and usually uninteresting event. Bravo

[Jo]

Goodness what a sight, I love all the steam, but I pity the people trying to sleep if, as your exif says, all that work was going on at 11.48pm!

[Rosie Kind]

This is very atmospheric - Fav

[Elizabeth]

Excellent capture of this steamy, gritty event!

[Humphrey Hippo]

The steam makes the shot. :)

[Pat Knowles]

Love that Tarmac steam rising Jocasta, makes this photo look mysterious & exciting!

[Ali P]

Looks like a film set! Fav

[Joan Robillard]

Glad it was a good thing because you could wonder if it was a fire.

[Shepherdman's Wife]

Superb shot. Love the steam.

[Leslie]

Love the light

[Taffy]

Looks positively otherworldly the way you've composed and with your lighting.

[Karen Mitchell]

Wow, this looks really striking and the light is so fab.

[Andy]

Amazing capture of a scene that most of us wouldn't think has much potential. Love this!

[Sue]

Great shot. I like the way the steam makes the whole scene a little bit underworldly, if there is such a word

[Issi Bannerman]

Another super 'steamy' shot!

[Sally Ings]

So atmospheric, the steam really gives so much to the overall feel. Fabulous capture Joy

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

You've captured the mundane so well!

[Lisa Pouncy]

This really appeals to me xx
