One of my hobbies is to take pictures I shoot during inspections and try to turn them into something more. These are three abstracts.

Can you guess what they are from?

1&2 look like corrosion of some sort - when I first looked at #1 I thought maybe a close up of a dirty oven?

3 looks like insulation facing or similar.

Those actually look like nice photos - you must use a higher quality camera than I have.... or at least the lens isn't all scratched up like mine.

Thanks for looking Matt.

#1 is a from a floor drain sewer back-up and the residue left behind.
#2 is a rusted (and leaking) boiler heat exchanger.
#3 as you guessed is torn insulation. I did some research on this stuff and the insulation was actually made with sea weed. Who'd a thunk.

Great photos and nice side-lighting on the insulation. You have the market cornered in HI Artography Mike.

Nicely done.
You have time for a hobby? Too often my days of the week kind of just meld together. I'm constantly asking myself, "This is what day?":)

Unfortunately I had to crop the picture and reduce its size. Taken with my Sony Cyber Shot.

I take requests and thanks for remembering, John. I don't know which you mean for "In God We Trust."

The first 2 are a mystery. The 3rd maybe your pants after an arc flash?
