Something for the weekend - Part 128 - On the boil.

[davescm]

For this weekend's challenge I bring you an old kettle (actually 3D model of an old kettle). How will you use it?

The “rules”:

* Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc

* Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert.

* There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!

To download the image below at 3000 x 3000 pixels, with a transparent background and an embedded ICC colour profile (sRGB), hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser).

When posting back your image – please use the Blue reply button in this first post. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

Have fun.

Nor should you, Dave: saltpetre, charcoal, and sulphur; boiled, then dried, then

Call me crass Dave, but it puts me in mind of ignited bottom burps which has got me thinking.  Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, but does it present a greater threat to planet Earth as a gas, or a brief flame?  They talk about frozen methane locked into the Arctic Tundra as a permafrost, so should we do out bit to combat Global Warming by freezing our bottom burps and what would the consequences be if they all thawed at the same time?  This is crucial stuff.

I think you must have had a bit too much of whatever is in that kettle Trevor. Or Jane's kettle below !

lets hope a bee doesn't find her way into one of these spouts 😉

[Jacob Bugge]

Indeed, Graham. Some might think there might already bee one in the bonnet underneath.

Another possible nuisance could be if someone decided to grasp both horn(like spout)s and rattle his kettle.

Watch them jugs a-filling in the pale moonlight”

Is this one of those moonshine stills Jane?  

[Ussnorway]

I assume herbal tea?

[davescm]

Whatever they are brewing, it certainly puts a shine on the kettle !

@Ussnorway Herbal tea? Haha, it's a bit closer to "Long Island Iced Tea".

@davescm It's moonshine whiskey, illegal spirits distilled in the light of the moon in the backwoods of Appalachia. It's mostly legal now. 

@Trevor.Dennis Yes. I kept reading "kettle" in this thread and thinking "Copper Kettle", the song written by Albert Frank Beddoe and recorded by Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, etc., commemorating the Whiskey Rebellion (a tax protest). Pete Seeger says the song was written in 1946.

In the morning a cup of tea would be nice!

Object and scene in perfect harmony 🙂

Something more refreshing, maybe?

[davescm]

A clever use of the kettle - I like that

And now we know the hidden inexhaustible source of each and every river filling countless kettles, thanks to you Rafael.

nice twist on the elephant theme

[davescm]

It reminds me of the lines from Augustus De Morgan's poem

"Great fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em,
And little fleas have lesser fleas, and so ad finitum"

First sighting ever of the elusive baby kettle! 😊
