Industrial beauty

This Shell depot lies forgotten and untended in Samarai. I liked the industrial beauty of it.

I was struck at the time by the stylistic similarity to a much more glamorous structure on the far side of the world.

The stairs around the turret of the Mespelbrunn castle in Bavaria.

I'm a Queenslander by birth and after nearly 20 years in the Northern Territory I've returned to my home state. I've been researching my Queensland ancestors for nearly 30 years and like most Aussies I'm a typical "mongrel" with English, Irish, Scottish and German ancestry.
