Gothic Steam Engine
This is a shot of the Gothic Steam Engine which is on display at The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan. The museum has a great collection of huge engines, power generators, etc. (among other cool stuff). I really like this one because of it's gothic design. From the museum website:
"Installed at the Tatham Brothers Lead Works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, this 30-foot-tall, 50-ton engine drove machinery used to make lead products such as pipe and sheet flashing. It operated from 1857 until 1930, when it was donated to the museum by John T. Lewis & Co. Despite the ornate design, it was never intended for public view."
My original image was color, but the engine itself is basically black & white so creating a bw image wasn't much of a stretch. I darkened the background a bit to focus more attention on the engine itself.
