er no its not
you have waste pipes down pipes water pipes gas pipes in the house
you have tubes of glue, makeup comes in tubes I think
your car has Pipes exhaust pipes water pipes etc

the hard part is taking a photo that looks good

[Margaret Pilkington]

Yes, I know about pipes and tubes....there are pasta tubes, lipstick tubes......and you are right.....it is quite difficult to make a downspout or a drainpipe look appealing.
But, as always I will do my best

[Turtle]

Good one Mick! A challenge for sure. Hmmmmm... Tobacco pipes, wind pipes (no!), tunnels? They're tubes I guess. Just thinking out loud - not always a good thing especially in early morning LOL

[Margaret Pilkington]

Well, I have got 4 in...not overly inspiring, but I have given it a shot

[maxthecollie]

I've put 4 in but my pics are not showing. Any ideas?

Looks like they didn't upload, is the size to big, I find I have to reduce my pictures down to get them to upload.

Can see the pics in member gallery here - Max under the singing Tree - Accrington Photo Gallery
Did you upload to wrong place?

Frank I have clicked on the link and find I have uploaded a picture very similar to yours, as you were the first I will ask Mick to remove it. Mick if you are reading this please delete my "pile of pipes" I will upload another picture.

You are right Mick, I should have PM'd, in mitigation it was getting late and I discovered after doing all the uploading I had uploaded an identical image. Had it still been there today I would have PM' as per the correct way of doing, but my Horlicks was getting cold.

Turning out to be an excellent choice of subject - already lots of great photos entered. Very interesting to see the different interpretations. Going to be very hard to choose which one to vote for.

[Turtle]

I agree, Dotti. I thought it was going to be a hard theme at first, but the ideas keep coming in! For my entries I was intrigued by some strange looking glass pipes at the local tattoo parlour. I tried to screw up my courage to go in there with my camera, armed with all sorts of excuses. But I chickened out. Maybe it's for the best
