I just love it. Those guys are using internal lineup clamps prior to welding a section of pipe plus there is a refinery in the background. I found some free software that stitched the whole mural together. The result was excellent but you would need a 30&#8243; wide screen to make sense of it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/5301713846\/\" title=\"DSCF3865 by alnbbates, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"DSCF3865\" height=\"375\" src=\"http:\/\/yogisden.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/01\/5301713846_a0e72d027a-300x225.jpg\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>We found the chapel right next to the United Airlines baggage carousel. I don&#8217;t think it is used very much.
