From World Physics Photowalk Day 2018, at SNOLab in Sudbury, Ontario. I found this viewport close to the floor on a very large tank, and realized there were what appeared to be ping pong balls in it. It reminded me of old gas pumps, and the viewglass with the spinning part to show that fuel was flowing. I don’t know if these serve the same purpose, but its my uneducated guess.

From World Physics Photowalk Day 2018, at SNOLab in Sudbury, Ontario. Going through my photos, I noticed I took a lot of interest in the various wiring and electrical fixtures. I think partially because my father was an electrician who worked underground, and also because I really like well run cabling. SNOLab had it everywhere, but this was my favorite. This spot, lit from the floor below, gave me the impression of a rushing stream or aqeduct.

From World Physics Photowalk Day 2018, at SNOLab in Sudbury, Ontario. Because of the sensitivity of the experiments run here, the entire lab, 2Km below ground in an active mine, is a clean facility. Literally every single thing, every screw, bolt, pipe, computer, chair, camera, even photographer, has to go through a thorough cleaning before it can enter. In keeping with that, the sprayed concrete walls of the massive facility have all been hand trowelled to maintain a smooth, and therefore easy to clean, surface. Walking aorund the lab you realize very quickly the daunting amount of work that has to go into maintaining this level of cleanliness.

While walking around SNOLab in Sudbury, Ontario for World Physics Photowalk Day 2018, I noticed these pipes on a storage shelf. Being that we were in a physics lab, the shapes brought to mind the fractal nature of our universe, the shapes reminding me at the same time of the orbits of electrons around a nucleus, planets around stars, and stars in a galaxy etc, all nested in with one another.

An LED light strip guides our way through the SNOlab portion of a drift in Creighton Mine, 2km below the surface and at least a kilometer long walk from our elevator (or “cage”) home. Taken after an amazing day photographing the world class scientific facility in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada for World Physics Photowalk Day.
