WATER TOWER - NORTHERN FRANCE

Water Tower - Northern France
During my recent cycle ride from Gibraltar to the UK I saw lots of these water towers in Northern France. I have a real liking for them.....the various shapes and sizes make them interesting photographic subjects. I saw this particular one about twenty miles south of Chateaubriant and I was really attracted to it's smooth lines and great slender shape.

Thanks Adrian....Glad that you 'joined us' on the trip.

Yes Colin- I have seen their work, although I do prefer to view their images as individual shots rather than in groups.
I must say that industrial images are something that have always been of interest to me.
