Picture of complex piping system with valves, pumps, gauges, and meters representing industrial systems and complex control systems and processes.

This image is of a complex network of copper pipes or piping complete with gauges of various types and a couple of different kinds of valves taken at several angles and even a couple of water pumps. An effort has been made to show a more or less incomprehensible maze of pipes and piping.

The image actually has plug valves, solenoid valves (two kinds), and ball valves with a mixture of colors for the handles.

Stock photo uses include concepts such as complexity, incomprehension, helplessness, quagmire, technical wizardry, and more.

This stock photo can be used for ideas such as complexity and transportation. This image was created by taking photographs of various lengths and diameters of copper pipe some T fittings and elbows, the various valves, some gauges, a water meter, and a couple of water pumps. In PhotoShop we altered the colors of the valve handles and made the gauges look as though they were vibrating. This photo can be licensed for stock use through Getty images.

Many layers in PhotoShop to create this stock image

It took quite a number of layers in PhotoShop to complete this image. It was a little tricky getting the highlights right and sizing the components in the various layers to give proper perspective.

This image is great for not only showing complexity, but can be used in a number of ways for business that do plumbing, piping systems, industrial controls and systems, and other such uses.
