Photographic Print. A water container as an architectural Modernist tower near Margueron, Riocaud in France.
Water towers are the perfect meeting of architecture, science and
structural engineering. The structure of a water tower
must support the weight of the water and the most economical way to
support the substantial weight of water is with a
spherical shape that converts the fluid pressure into tension through
the mechanism of hoop stress. Having a tall, narrow cylinder
means that as the volume of water changes in the water tower, the height
of the surface of the water changes by a larger amount and so the variation in water head pressure produced
is high. I liked the random position of the sun spot and aeroplane contrails against the water tower in the golden afternoon light.
Colours are as accurate as possible but may differ slightly due to screen calibrations.
Shipping outside UK mainland is estimated, on occasion a variation will be emailed before dispatch.Images printed at a Fuji approved professional laboratory on highest quality archive papers, Fuji Crystal or DP 2.
