Description
Inside a room at Battery Kinzie.
A lot of what happened at coastal artillery installations was the moving of shells from one place to another. (Auntie's simplified version!) I'm guessing these wheels had something to do with that process.
The shells each weighed over 600 pounds, so it wasn't like somebody just came in and picked one up and wandered off with it!
If anybody knows more, feel free to speak up. I just liked this for the rich light. :)

Love the shot! I've no idea what the wheels are for.

The way the light moves in this space is wonderful.

Interestin play of light and shadow in this one. Nice capture, Tara!

The light and shadows and those military colors really grab my attention, as do those wheel thingies. I like your version of intricate military procedures as well...because when the deal goes down, it's basically all just moving stuff...or something. Rather like learning Latin only to discover that the interesting Latin names for things like internal organs translate to stuff like "Small squishy thing" and the like. As for those wheel-thingamajigs, well...I love the way the light falls on them and they'd make interesting set dressing in some strange drama involving men in uniforms, explosions, a love interest, and a briefcase...there's always a briefcase. And all of that is to say that I love this shot!

Very beautiful light in there Tara. Fun to see how the rough rusty surface on the wheels also look soft by the light. :-)

You have such a fantastic eye for striking compositions wherever you are. BRILLIANT!

This shows the inevitable creep of decay. You can see it in the background wall, the rusted metal and the worn window frame. I like how you captured what appears to be a ring stain from someone putting down a container on the window sill. Lends a very human touch.

I'm enjoying the look and lighting so much that I'm going to ignore those wheel things although they look like something that I've seen on submarines. Dana
