Did you not check that each was full?

They are probably empty, I went on a tour of “The Tobermory Whisky Distillery” (and many others over the years !).
Apparently they put the barrels outside to weather,so as the timber barrel ribs expand and seal against future leakage.
If they had been full they would be placed in the Bonded Store warehouse, under tight security.
I was going to suggest a re-direction of the GADC “Meet” in the Loch Lomond area?.
Now that would be a one good piss up !!. (if only they were full)

Okay, so…
Only taking the five vertical columns, not the two stacks on the left…
The first column:
Ten barrels high. The top row is six wide, 2nd-top 7, 3rd-top 8, and so on. That’s 105 barrels per row.
There are 51 rows, so 5355 barrels
The other four columns:
The top row is seven wide, so 115 barrels per row. 51 rows is 5865 barrels per column. Four columns, 23460 barrels.
Total in just the columns, 28815 barrels.
Casks hold around 200 bottles…
So in the columns here there’d be enough for at least 5.76 million bottles.
And that’s only the cropped five columns… there are a LOT more there.

question about theme, how much editing can be done to the image, looking at the examples, the one of the pine trees and the crossroads has been heavily edited?
Thats beaut!! Awesome idea that!

Here’s my entry for theme 2, I wasn’t sure about it when I took it but looking at it on my computer I decided I quite liked it. This is a top down shot of some industrial buildings that are in my village (Fleckney, Leicestershire)

Here is my entry for Theme #2 - Geometric Patterns taken from the estate I live in York, it’s a Eco Estate with centrally delivered heating and hot water via underground pipes and Heat Exchangers in each property - apparently there is only a 5 Degree drop in temperature between Water leaving the Super Sustainable Centre and Water coming back to it !!!
Gutted I missed Theme #1 - weather was just too bad to get out to get the shot 
Small amount of Cropping and brightening
