My Baby the Oil Man

My son Tom works on offshore oil rigs (or maybe they are gas) but they are scary dangerous places - or so I, as a caring mother, believe. He has just returned from a shift on a new rig which is somewhere near East Timor and has shared some of his images with me.

These are the life rafts which hold 50 people - there are four of them - hope they never have to use them!

This is the chopper that gets him to work - hard seats, tiny windows, noisy and boring.

Sunrise or maybe sunset?

Helicopter landing pad - love the colours
