with chips........


....and before you ask it's an elderly lens from an ancient, retired epidioscope that I use as a magnifying glass (rescued from a skip years ago), it's incredibly heavy and the 2" thick lens has a corroded brass housing and I love it to bits, chips and all!
Another boring day at work, nothing else to report..........

What is that?

Oh, I see, it's a lens from an ancient epidioscope.

What's an epidioscope?

It's an early form of overhead projector. I love these old bits of kit. Nice shot.

I haven't looked at the link yet but the nearest POW camp to us was Featherstone Castle. I was there years ago, an eery place, nothing left but the concrete hut bases. Incidentally, there is a Salmon Leap there these days too!

I have checked the link and I see that it is Featherstone Castle. Your Mum and I? Great minds think alike......

Great image. Chips in glass can look so beautiful.
