Over a Barrel

Managed to drag myself away from my extension tubes and DIY ringflash this evening and get out for a walk down by the river again. No shot across the river this time but rather a shot of some of the Whisky barrels at the Blackgrange Bond warehouse complex. This place is quite amazing in terms of size, it's the largest warehouse complex in Europe and has 52 racked Bond warehouses for whisky, holding 60,000 casks in each - a total of 3.1 million barrels of Whiskey in total! Quite often you can smell the Whisky vapour in the air (the so called 'Angels share') and this encourages the growth of a darkly colored fungus, Baudoinia compniacensis, on the exterior surfaces of buildings, trees and other vegetation, and anything else that happens to be nearby.
