15th September 2003

I can now get to the grinder......it's a long story. Last November 5th.... They shot a rocket in the air, it came to earth they know not where..... I know were it came to earth.... straight through my workshop asbestos roof.... June 19th, yes JUNE, the insurance company builders replaced the whole roof.... Great, no more asbestos....
September 1st they RE-replaced the whole roof to stop it leaking.

Having tidied up, I can now get to the grinder....

Sorry. November 5th = Guy Fawkes Night. To commemorate the gunpowder plot of 1605 to blow up the Palace of Westminster and James 1st. We(not personally) have fireworks and burn "Guys" on bonfires. CB

Gorgeous photo, Chris. You certainly did get that exposure right on the money. Good for you! :)

You got the exposure perfect on this one. Well done!

Thank you Nikki. Just a piece of mild steel rod to make some sparks. I took 19 photos on various settings. If I exposed it so that the main sparks were not burned out, the tiny sparks didn't show up so well. CB

Great! I like how the sparks are flying all over the place, very nice! What are you grinding?!
