The following still lifes are arrangements of items from my days as a chemist. The first four images are arrangements of brass weights that were pleasant to my eye. The last two are arrangements of volumetric flasks and a pycnometer which chemists use. The two volumetric flasks each are designed to hold exactly 1 milliliter of a fluid. The most commonlv-used volumetric flasks range in capacity form 25-ml to 2000-ml. These are unusual because of their very small volume.

The unusual looking flask with a thermometer sticking out the top with a little covered side arm is a pycnometer use to measure the specific gravity (density) of fluids.

Shot this image in 2022. In July of 2023 I saw competition in th UK about moon images. With my luck the competition was over but they had a website in the article to send your photos for them to look at. I sent this one on Wednesday night without thought of anything happening just for them to look at. On Saturday morning there was a message from the Royal Museums Greenwick, London. They wanted to know if they could add the photo to their archives. I gave my permission and now have a photo there in the archives.
