Over Complicated?

Over Complicated?
I spotted this weird plumbing on a building in the shopping center in Cosham, Hampshire. I liked the way the pipes and boarded up windows contrast with the brickwork.

An odd choice of subject matter you may say................but I like odd..!!

I've made a start on catching up with you all. If I've missed you, please be patient :-)

Günter Klaus, Diane Putnam, Jean Paul Capdeville, Jörg and 18 other people have particularly liked this photo

A drainpipe maze Keith. Talking of drainpipes you may be interested in this story:
Since Sunday we have had a male blackbird build a nest over the one conservatory downspout. (Silly bird). After a night of light rain (Monday morning), the whole gutter was flooding with the water having nowhere to go (this would surely drown any new hatchlings). So I moved the nest away trying to discouraged the bird. Unfortunately a few hours later it was back sitting in the bare gutter. I thought at first it was the female laying its eggs but no.... so I later replaced the nest next-door to the actual down drainpipe where at least it will not dam the gutters and would be somewhat dryer. A few hours ago, the bird was back sitting in its nest again -no doubt trying to attract a female to it.

Life can be difficult. Regards. Herb

Ha, ha...........I couldn't make any sense of it........which is why I like it..!!

I love the story of your blackbirds.............they're really not helping themselves are they, despite your best efforts? I hope they manage to sort themselves out!

Dieses Rohrlabyrinth ist wirklich ungewohnlich. Auf den ersten Blick sieht es so aus, als seien das alles Abflussrohre. Aber zwei Rohre haben ein gegenläufiges Gefälle, so dass dort etwas ins Gebäude hineinläuft. Das macht eigentlich keinen Sinn.
Normalerweise befinden sich solche Rohre im Gebäude, denn außen sind sie nicht frostsicher.
Gut, dass du öfter nach oben schaust, um Außergewöhnliches zu finden. Eine großartige Entdeckung und schön perspektivisch präsentiert, Keith!

Yes, the way the pipes run is very odd, but I'm glad you also found it interesting Wilhelm. Thanks very much!

Voilà un plombier pratique et artiste. Si il y a une fuite, elle sera facile à répérer et il n'y aura pas de mur à casser. Si j'étais propriétaire de l'immeuble je serais tenté, en peignant ces tuyaux, de les transformer en oeuvre d'art.
