I know what it is, I'm not sure why it is, but... Here It Is! :)

I know what it is too.
Does there have to be a why as long as there's an is ?
No matter where you go there you are and there is nothing you can do about it.
Pretty colors too !

I thought it was a housefly at first while it appeared on the screen. No
bars going through any of the spheres? And that curvature top center
back, only curved bars I can see.

This reminds me of the bottom of a cooling tower, don't know if
the cooling towers in the US are the same as the ones here.

Most of the cooling towers here look nothing at all like this.
The are usualy rectangular, tall, have screened circular openings
for the fan blade intakes, and then are painted silver. It would be
cool if they did resemble this but they are lacking in line or form
and have nothing that would inspire an artistic notion.

To me it's a mutated version of RSOCF (Relective Sphere Over Checkered
Floor)

Well, I don't, but it has a checker and reflective spheres, so I am happy

Our cooling towers, (the ones I'm thinking off) were all built in
the sixties, early seventies. They are very tall, round, and at
the bottom for about 20 feet up or so have a metal structure
resembeling scafold poles, from there upwards they are curved
concrete. and have a very wide apperture. These are mainly used
for cooling water at power stations or heavy industrial sites. I
saw two being demolished once, and managed to get lots of
photographs of them as they fell.
When you get close enough to look inside these towers, the view
you get is similar to that of Grim's image, the main difference
being the dripping water and a constantly wet floor in the
cooling towers.
Over the next day or so I'll try to find a web site where they
have images of British cooling towers and let you know about it
in this thread.

Same things here. Ken may not have realized what you meant exactly or
they actually have rectangular ones in southern California. I've seen
ones in Washington state and Alabama here where I live, U.S. of course.
Maybe Ken is in Russia? Don't think I've seen any pictures of the
tapered tube kind there. j/k
Anyway, I know what you mean by the angular bracing beneath them.

Ken is an engineer with almost 22 years of industrial experience.
Ken knows what a cooling tower is and what it should look like. The
small image below is typical of the types I have worked with and is
considered modern and effecient in design. Perhaps because California
is a lot newer than the states in the east and is obviouly younger
than the U.K. it is typical to see newer equipment that does not suffer
from antiquated designs like those that are still likely to be used
in areas sufferening from a lack of economic expansion. Perhaps not.
