Great work with focus, captures exactly what is needed

Looks like alien eyes to me.

I so love the paint texture. Wow Motts your pictures are so rich in tone gradient

Now talk about a beautiful architecture, I love this

That's just so very British scenery, and I just have a thing for massive buildings reflected in the water. Great wallpaper, Motts

Great comeback with an awesome shot, you rock Motts :]

great man, great, I check this site most days, nice to seemore galleries! love the work, keep on

Oh, to be able to see it all running. Old machinery has to be one of my favourites...

So glad you've got another couple of galleries up! I check in here daily! Eureka!

Brilliant, Mr Motts, absolutely brilliant.
And the 'London" comment, does that mean we will see some sets from the city, as well?
I do hope so. The change is nice.

I'll forgive this delving into the 'semi-abandoned' buildings, Mr Motts, as long as you do it again, on rare occasion with as much artistry as you have this one.

Why do I keep thinking '20,000 Leagues Under The Sea'?
This is pretty much what I imagined the Nautilus' engine room to look like in all of it's Victorian finery!

Probably measures the depth of the water table so the station doesn't pump air, which could possibly be bad for it, as it would probably pump muck first..

Governor has some big brass balls...
er.. sorry

All right! After a slight hiatus I find something to brighten a really bad week!
Thank you for the impeccable timing, Mr Motts!
Great first picture, btw!
