At the request of my mother, we went for a nice afternoon walk on Mother's Day. Saw this chain on the ground and figured it'd be pretty good practice for post-processing (turning something ordinary into something a bit more photographic / artsy).
I think it came out alright, but it's still missing something...something that'll give it the kick and make you say wow. Hm, I'll probably go back to the original and start from scratch. Stay tuned.
Front of lower chain guide tube complete and all bolted up. I used a section of PVC with a bell fitting molded in, then sawed it off, preserving just the curved opening to better guide the chain.

The Golden Horn is the name given to a prominent horn-shaped estuary that joins the Bosphorus Strait. The Byzantine Empire had its naval headquarters there, and at the entrance to the Horn, a large chain was pulled across from Constantinople to the old Tower of Galata to prevent unwanted ships from entering the estuary and attacking the city.
This is presumably the last one used and is now in the military museum, Istanbul.
