This is a picture of expansion tubes and a California quail at sunset, made near the little oil town of Maricopa. The expansion tubes help relieve potentially damaging uneven pressure in oil pipelines. A California quail, the state bird, sits atop the tubes.

These are a total suprise. With all the pipelines we have here in Alberta, I've never seen this kind of expasion method. So simple and I bet they work great. Really enjoy the site. Spud from Calgary, Alberta Canada

I also like those shapes, they are very nice. I like how the sun seems to reflect its light upon them, just enough shine to draw attention to them and the darkened background.
