Just a couple of pics from a recent trip under London. Ten points to those who might have noted that this is a sewer rather than a drain or culvert.

1. Overflow Chamber



2. Trunk sewer joining on a curve



Pics taken with Olympus C-8080 WZ, about 15 seconds exposure, iso 50, f2.8. I think?

Edit: fixed pics!

If there was sewers here that looked like that, I probably wouldn't care about shit and toilet paper too much.

What a "Beautiful" sewer in #2. I'd be standing as far away from the pile of poop in #1 as possible, especially without a mask!

LOL!! Yeah, it's not ideal. In an ideal world I wouldn't explore sewers, but down this way, with a distinct lack of BIG culverts/storm drains, and such a mass of BIG combined foul/surface water systems, I'll go with the sewers for the opportunity to photograph little seen special brick Victorian engineering.

I should probably move back to Manchester! BIG drains in Manchester are like mineral water spas compared to London! It has to be said though that this particular sewer was possibly the nastiest we've ever explored, which made it even worse when Stoop fell over heading head first for the water (if you can call it that), good for the immune system I'm sure? Ha!

Cheers,

JD

Combined surface water and sanitary sewer! So erm, diluted poop! Nice! I only really took about six pics the entire trip as it wasn't the kind of enviroment you felt like faffing around with camera gear in, the other four are a bit mediocre, i.e. their faults are many and known to me without them being critiqued.
