Description
This vintage pipe has seen better days but has been recycled as a handrail in the town square of Bellville, Texas.
A detailed closeup or macro photograph, in tones of blue and rust against a blurred gray background, this historic pipe bears the inscription Stockham USA, with a large letter G on another portion. A straight pipe has been added to create a handrail to aid visitors down an incline to street level.
Seeing beauty in its simplicity and long use, I decided to shoot it close up. The result: contemporary wall art, as well as an interesting conversation piece of a well used relic that I am sure could tell many stories.

Thank you, Dan, for featuring this image on the homepage of Premium FAA Artists. Wouldn't the people who made this old pipe, and those who turned it into a handrail in a small Texas town, be surprised to know how far it has come! What a long and productive life it has had. I found the lines, colors, and textures so interesting.
