OK... and of some rust, as well!

An out-of-the-red shot for my new found Flickr friend and excellent photographer Out-of-the-Blue!
Here is a mystery object. No doubt someone out there will be able to tell us what it is. One thing I think we can be certain of, it is not a ship's propeller. It would be a large ship in any case, but the blades are all the wrong shape for that. Some kind of fan?
My best guess would be a wind turbine of some sort. Perhaps one that sits on top of a building. There was a government building in Hobart several years ago that had a small wind turbine array on its roof. But being in the Roaring 40s, these turbines failed, and nearly blew onto the street below. Perhaps this is one of those. I really don't know.

This ring comes from a fishing ship. This was a cover for a propeller. The definition what is art can be funny.

You think winter is your ally? You merely adopted the snow. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see green grass until I was already a man.
This is based on a real thing, believe it or not.

Wat Arun takes its name from Aruna, the Indian god of the dawn, hence the common name The Temple of Dawn. Locally called Wat Chaeng or Wat Arun. It is an ancient temple in Bangkok located on the Maenam Chao Phraya River, dating back to the Ayutthaya period. In the Thonburi period, it used to be called Wat Makok. When the king of Thonburi moved the capital from Krung Si Ayutthaya to Krung Thonburi, he also brought the Emerald Buddha from Vientiane to Wat Arun, before it was later transferred to Wat Phra Kaew, in the Grand Palace. In the Rattanakosin period, Wat Arun was restored and renamed Wat Arun Ratchatharam by King Rama II. As an important temple in Thailand's history, there are many unique attractions at Wat Arun in Bangkok, most notably the central prang, a stupa-like pagoda inlaid with colorful glazed porcelain tiles and shells, giant statues, the ordination hall, bell tower and many Buddha statues. The imposing Khmer-style prang or tower is 104 meters high and decorated with pieces of porcelain that were used as ballast by boats coming from China. It is surrounded by four smaller prangs. Construction of the prangs was started by King Rama II and completed by King Rama IV. The central balcony is an ideal place to look out over the river to the Grand Palace and the Temple of the Emerald Buddha.
Wat Arun is a temple that rises from the Chao Phraya River's banks.The Chao Phraya is the major river in Thailand. It flows through Bangkok and then into the Gulf of Thailand. On many old European maps, the river is named the Mae Nam, the Thai word for motherly water or river. Long-tail boats are often used for transport passengers accros the river. A long-tail boat uses an automotive engine. The driveshaft must be extended by several metres of metal rod to properly position the propeller, giving the boat its name and distinct appearance. Advantages to the inboard engine with a long driveshaft include keeping the engine relatively dry. There is much variation among these boats, some have evolved from traditional craft types. As Wat Arun is a Buddhist temple, visitors must wear culturally appropriate clothing to visit. In front of the high Khmer-style prang there two notable ancient Chinese guardian sculptures. Steep stairs lead to the top, from where there are amazing views of the Chao Phraya River.
Wat Arun dankt zijn naam aan Aruna, de Indiase god van de dageraad, vandaar de algemene naam The Temple of Dawn. Lokaal genaamd Wat Chaeng of Wat Arun. Het is een oude tempel in Bangkok gelegen aan de Maenam Chao Phraya rivier, die dateert uit de Ayutthaya-periode. In de Thonburi-periode heette het vroeger Wat Makok. Toen de koning van Thonburi de hoofdstad liet verhuizen van Krung Si Ayutthaya naar Krung Thonburi, bracht hij ook de Smaragdgroene Boeddha uit Vientiane naar Wat Arun, voordat deze later werd overgebracht naar Wat Phra Kaew, in de Grand Palace. In de Rattanakosin-periode werd Wat Arun gerestaureerd en omgedoopt tot Wat Arun Ratchatharam door koning Rama II. Als een belangrijke tempel in de geschiedenis van Thailand, zijn er veel unieke attracties in Wat Arun in Bangkok, met name de centrale prang, een stupa-achtige pagode ingelegd met kleurrijke geglazuurde porseleinen tegels en schelpen, gigantische beelden, de wijdingshal, de klokkentoren en vele Boeddhabeelden. De imposante prang of toren in Khmer-stijl is 104 meter hoog en versierd met stukjes porselein die als ballast werden gebruikt door boten die uit China kwamen. Het is omgeven door vier kleinere prangs. De bouw van de prangs werd gestart door koning Rama II en voltooid door koning Rama IV. De Chao Phraya is de belangrijkste rivier in Thailand. Het stroomt door Bangkok en vervolgens in de Golf van Thailand. Op veel oude Europese kaarten wordt de rivier de Mae Nam genoemd, het Thaise woord voor rivier. Longtailboten worden vaak gebruikt om passagiers over de rivier te vervoeren. Een longtailboot maakt gebruik van een automotor. De aandrijfas moet met enkele meters metalen staaf worden verlengd om de schroef goed te positioneren, waardoor de boot zijn naam en onderscheidende uiterlijk krijgt. Voordelen van de binnenboordmotor met een lange aandrijfas zijn onder meer dat de motor relatief droog blijft. Er is veel variatie tussen deze boten, sommige zijn voortgekomen uit traditionele ambachtelijke typen. Omdat Wat Arun een boeddhistische tempel is, moeten bezoekers cultureel geschikte kleding dragen om te bezoeken. Voor de prang in hoge Khmer-stijl staan twee opmerkelijke oude Chinese krijgsmannen. Steile trappen leiden naar de top, vanwaar je een fantastisch uitzicht hebt op de Chao Phraya-rivier.
Die 15.600 kg schwere Schiffsschraube steht vor dem Maritimen Museum in Hamburg. Sie ist 6 x 6 Meter groß und wurde als Ersatzteil für einen Tanker gefertigt. Seit 2012 steht sie als Geschenk vor dem Museum ist ein wirklicher Eyecatcher.

The propeller weighing 15,600 kg stands in front of the Maritime Museum in Hamburg. It measures 6 x 6 meters and was manufactured as a spare part for a tanker. It has been standing in front of the museum as a gift since 2012 and is a real eye-catcher.
This is a close-up HDR photo of a ship propeller that is a 'public sculpture' on Granville Island in Vancouver. The framing of the light and shadow patterning creates a nicely balanced abstract composition.
Engine of the American Airlines Flagship Detroit known as the Wright R-1820 Cyclone 9. It is an American radial engine developed by Curtiss-Wright, widely used on aircraft in the 1930s through 1950s. The R-1820 Cyclone 9 represented a further development of the Wright P-2 engine dating back to 1925 and featured a greater displacement along with a host of other improvements. The R-1820 was at the heart of many famous aircraft including early Douglas airliners (the prototype DC-1, the DC-2, the first civil versions of the DC-3 (as seen here), and the limited-production DC-5), every wartime example of the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and Douglas SBD Dauntless bombers, the early versions of the Polikarpov I-16 fighter (as the M-25), and the Piasecki H-21 helicopter.
