Description
This is some kind of tower, or maybe it's tank, at a sewage plant in Huntington Beach. I rode past it every time I went to the beach; there's definitely a bit of a smell. But considering the amount of, well, stuff, this place takes care of, I guess I was lucky it's just a "bit"!! At any rate, I loved the stairs going around the tower, the palm trees, the whole thing. Just another quirky piece of southern California architecture.

I thought it was a lighthouse when I saw the thumb .Another cracking shot from you Marilyn :o) Mick
crackling, yes! The tower is imposing at it is, especially as it has only a few trees around it so that it stands out like a big monolith. But you got this big white light towards the top which makes it look like the gods singled it out for a message! Whatever it's used for (waste?), it feels like an early morning god who pretty much minds its own business unless someone messes with it. You have a nice misty quality to the light, and the sky-blue around it is jewel-like. As Mick says, another crackling shot from you. Really commanding!
Wonderful and very creative work
Thought it was a Helter Skelter lol(one of those old Fair-rides on mats and slide down). Then as Mick has said I thought Lighthouse, but I haven't any idea what it could be, but its a fascinating building and a great shot! love the high palms towering up next to it!
A poo-tower! Only you could make such a splendid pic out of this, Marilyn!
It's not the end. Southern California needs water and will go to great lengths to get it.
It looks awful like a 'Gas Tank', which I guess it could well be, for the storing of methane gas, which could be used for heating. You know that you can run a car on chicken shit so why not tap into the natural byproduct of human waste Methane Gas. Just a theory. Excellent capture Marylin whatever it's used for, thought provoking thats for sure. I used to have a news paper clip about a vet in Europe, he went to check a cow and stuck a pipe up the cows backside to check for gas, he put a light(flame) to the tube and a jet of flame leaped from the cow and set fire to a dutch barn full of hay. He did a couple of hundred thousand pounds worth of damage, and was fined for it. Superb work, suprising what memories come to mind from a simple picture. Lol. Bravo!!!!!
Looks like a Helter skelter :)...Now I am singing the song :)..Not the beatles version of course, but the Japenese metal band Loudness, their version urinated all over the original :)...Great capture
Palm trees and all it's lovely
Wow, if that's full sewage I sure wouldn't want to fall in! I think I've seen this thing many years back (in my much younger days I spent a lot of time in Huntington Beach). You've made it a work of art!
No matter what is inside..... That is a fantastic shot !!! [^___^] Cheers, Roger
It's the Talapia fish that help keep the smell down, because they eat it!!! And then people buy the fish in the stores unaware of what the lil critters eat to stay alive #^P Nice shooting M !!!
a stairway to heaven
I like this - the composition is great, with the trees and the staircase. Nicely seen!
Cool capture!
Cracking up here, but, talk about a tank 'o s...!!!! I'm gonna pull the plug on it...LOL Oh, the palm trees are helping to clean the air around it.
