Engineering Is Art: 000 – 049
To keep up with this photographic series follow #EngineeringIsArt on @beingbrunel.
It’s no secret that I like a bit of engineering photography. What you might not know, unless you’ve been stalking me on Facebook, Google+ or Twitter, is that for the last few months I’ve been uploading a new engineering photo every (working) day, as part of an on going “Engineering Is Art” series.
For those of you disinclined to waste your days on social media, I’ll be collecting them together in galleries of 50 for your perusal. So without further ado, here are numbers 000 to 049 of Engineering Is Art…
