An old machine of some sort sits idle on a shuttered silo complex in Northern Colorado.
Mike's Look at Life
A personal blog communicating issues around life including horrific loss and overwhelming joy, and many things in between.
Feeder for loading the silo….
Makes sense. Thanks.
Thank you for the explanation, First Minstrel, otherwise I’d be wondering about it all evening
Mike, again an interesting photo!
Hi Marion. I have wondered about it for weeks and now, at last, I can wonder about something else.
I see a huge robotic head behind the ladder, like a tin man peeping out.
I see it as well. It looks evil, or at least like it is in protection mode.
Great photo. In England this sort of machine would have a name like a “saggar makers bottom knocker” (real name) or a “raddleing nancy” (made up name).
Pymster! Yes, you English have some names. I like both those names equally. If your family sang with a woman named Gladys Knight, you all would be Gladys Knight and the Pyms. Eh?
Pym’s alternative spelling Pimm’s is a classic alcoholic summer drink!
Does one need to be an alcoholic to drink it?
No – but as its whisky based you need to be a seasoned drinker!
Bourbon whiskey is my drink of choice. Here’s looking at you Pym.
And thank you Adrian.
You find the most interesting things to shoot. I need to get out more
That is all I have to do, get out some. It has been a fun summer riding around on my motorcycle. The kind of summer that will become even more special with a little time to reflect on it all. Always appreciate your comments Regina.
Mike, I concur with Gina. You do find the most intriguing images to pass on and it is appreciated.
Ivon
Just so long as I don’t pass on in the process, eh. Thanks Ivon, you too are appreciated.
Whatever it’s called, it’s definitely interesting…and well captured Mike.
I think officially it’s a thingamajig. Thanks the lady Autin.
Well done black and white. Great shapes, tones, and balance.
Thank you hutch. Takes one to know one.
