It looks like the exterior of the Red Dwarf!
...im just not gonna ask about the rasin car...better left not knowing...
its an enlarged picture of the inside of most things electronic
I could be wrong but them look like heat sinks, you know like on a water cooled CPU in a computer. Water would run into one and out of it and the water would remove the heat from the side of it. Thats just what it looks like to me i could be wrong.

Great set Motts i've always loved your work! you inspired me to gout and buy a Nikon D40 and start heading to my own abandon places.
It looks almost like you're looking down on a bunch of rooftops.
Water-cooled computer CPU? Do those still exist?? Large-scale stuff, maybe?
@StL Girl:
It is frequently used by "overclockers", a subset of the enthusiast community that enjoy using technological methods to extract higher level of performance from hardware (through increase in clock generator frequencies) than would normally be provided by said hardware. Initially, it was in the name of saving money - such as the 300 MHz Celeron A processor, which could be run at 450 MHz by simply changing its front side bus frequency from 66 to 100 MHz, and required no special cooling at all.

Most "overclocks" are not nearly so simple in modern hardware. In fact, many of the said group spend more money on exotic cooling technologies than they would have spent had they bought a faster (and more stable) processor to begin with. I have seen multi-hundred dollar water cooling rigs to run a $260 Core i7 2666MHz processor at 3400 or so MHz, when you could have had the true 3400 i7 for about $700 to start with.
