This shot is actually an outtake from another theme. Sometime last year the Thematic Photographic prompt for the week was "Grounded". Never being one to take one shot when two will do the job, I came up with several shots I liked -- including this one.

A clamp and a pipe .. I am guessing some sort of pipe clamp cutting happened here
I'm a bit bamboozled by the excellently taken photo, Mojo! "Grounded?" So you liked my new badge? Do I have to explain it ya think? :)
Hello Mojo...You are the most prolific meme participant..I don't know what the word would be for that..Memoriphic? Memorized? ...Michelle
Hi, Mojo,
This is not fair.
You show a perfect mix of light, shadow, colors and curves.
I have worked on this for a week, and feel so blur..
Then, I hope you can comfort me, telling you've making pix like this for years!

Some kind off piping feature?
Grounded..I'm beginning to like that word. At least I'm the one saying to the kids now and not my folks saying that to me! LOL
Very neat.
Not sure what it is - but it is a very interesting shot! Love that pop of red!!
Very interesting shot. Maybe i'll try something like that when I get a better camera and more experience.
This reminds me of the things my husband has me helping him with in the garage. Great shot & great color.
I get it, grounded did you use a battery? looks like the red in the back is the positive connection for a charger? just a guess.

This is interesting. I figured the clamped was the end of a battery cable since you are talking about grounded. So what is a battery cable (if that is what it is) doing holding on to a pipe? And, what is the pipe attached to?
Interesting! I can't really figure out what is it. :)
Does red dates exist? I think i have one but i know it's not dates.

See ya!
This is so vibrant! You had me really gawking and squinting at this one!
excellent shot--love the lighting. i tried taking photos of hardware but they all look boring (lol). how do you do it?
oooooooh, took a while, heee heee heeee. some kind of battery thingy???
Hi again, Mojo,
I am always intrigued by what I do not understand. Had to call inmy husband for help in "your case".
He took a quick glance, smiled, praised your photo skills and taught me a bunch of new English terms.
The red, he said, is a vice holding a pipe. An earth clamp or ground clamp is attached to the pipe.(Or vice versa). Then this tiny cable is hooked on the clamp on the right upper side of the picture., preventing the handyman from getting electrocuted while working.
He even offered me a tour in his garage to demonstrate the principles.
I did not accept that kind invitation. There was an uncertain amount of risk involved that I did not want to examine.
Thank you for kind and uplifting words.
Also I have had fun with your enigmatic photo.
Stay grounded, please.
From Felisol
Interesting. Nice one.
It's me again, Felisol,
i just remember; I never asked why this elaborate grounding of a copper pipe was necessary.
I'll have to ask Gunnar, if he comes in from the garage...
From Felisol
No idea what it is but it makes a cracker of a shot!
I was thinking of a battery ground as well, but the pipe had me. Whatever it is... it IS a great shot!
My first ruby tuesday is here.
A pipe thread device? I am left to wonder, but I enjoy the functional beauty dictated by that function. An abstract mechanical view, for sure...
Interesting photo and comments.You really get people thimking. I am just beginning to develope photography skills.HRT
I love the blurred red and the golden light - you're always creating art
