Cloudia is right on. I love visiting the technology of the past with my photography. It's like I'm trying to preserve something with a medium whose sole purpose is to preserve the what the eye sees.
This is a gorgeous capture, V. I don't understand why old factories, old equipment, old buildings are so appealing as subjects but they are and this is an example of how artfully they can be composed.
I have lived in Birmingham most of my life. I think it's a beautiful, friendly, and interesting place to live. I hope that my daily photographs portray the diversity of my hometown in a positive and artistic way.
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, part-time painter, lover of all things French ( whose français is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic art museum volunteer, grateful community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.

I too am fascinated by silhouettes or at least back-lit 'factories' and the like. This is very good!
