Still Life - 1 IMG

In the immortal words of Monty Python, "And now for something completely different..."

 Prime Mover - Burnham Shops, Denver, CO by Christopher J. May, on Flickr

Here's a shot I took on Sunday down by the Burnham Shops. This is a study of a cold, lifeless GE prime mover revealed by some open doors on a locomotive down there.

There's something eerie about being next to a silent locomotive. In the case of the GE, not hearing that low bass chug with random rev ups and that familiar "whoop!" of the air compressor kicking on. 

 

Nothing. Just stillness.

  Surreal: {having the disorienting, hallucinatory quality of a dream; unreal; fantastic}  The composition sort of draws one in.  Bow

Still Life or "GE in the Assumed Position - Laid Up Bad Order (LUBO)"?

Mudchicken Nothing is worth taking the risk of losing a life over. Come home tonight in the same condition that you left home this morning in. Safety begins with ME.... cinscocom-west
