Should blow the leaves out of he yard with ease, dry the washing too! Amazing to know that even each little rivet was placed with a job to do. No superfluous engineering here! Clive

As beautiful as any architecture.

excellent image

Cool shot!!

Superb pic, and very interesting.

Great photo Bill. I love mechanical shots like this, even though I'm the first to admit I have no idea what I'm looking at!

Very vivid shot!!! 11+

fabulous!

My, what a step from architectural art to mechanical art. GE's largest jet engine? Looking at the fan, I'll believe it. I'm a bit wondering about the angle of the fan blades - they seem aimed straight forewards. Are they adjustable? I assume there must be a protective cowling around all the machinery we see behind the fan. I also wonder if one were to connect this number of "propellers" (fan blades) to a Merlin engine, if the plane with such an arrangement would fly all the faster than with a standard 3 or 4 blade propeller Nice job with the perspective. Wide angle lens? :-)

Your pov and composition make this MUCH more interesting than the real thing! LOL! :*

Impressive good shot.

WOW! Great capture

I'm always amazed that someone figured out how to build these things in the first place! Great shot, full of cool details!!

A very good detailed color photo!

amazing!!

Wow, where would you start it there was a hiccup :o)

Yes I so agree. Such an engine is just fantastic and this is SO CLEAN!

Thank you Frank Whittle...... I'm always fascinated by the inner workings of these things.The simplicity remains within the more complex improvements.

Awesome shot Hugs Susan~

I love this closeup of this engine and it does look quite artsy. Excellent clarity.

Stellar ambience and beauty in this pic of just one example of man's ingenuity, Bill.

Very artsy, intricate and detailed, and full of wonderful lines and shapes. Well done!

gorgeous light and photo!!

Really cool shot, Bill! Man, I just love looking at those big engines - pipes and tubes and cables, all going in seemingly helter-skelter directions, but all with a purpose. Wonderful light and detail!

Great shot Bill love the artistry in this, wonderful!!

yes, very great work, the machinists and you have done a great job!! beautiful and clear, the engine and the picture;)

Wonderful capture and amazing detail. Dana

I love this kind of stuff. I once heard something of a dinosaur of an art critic bemoaning the crass inclusion of "modern" things in art...this particular artist was only interested in things done by dead people. I always think of that whenever I see stuff in the modern world FROM the modern world. It is artistic in its own way, as artistic as naked people whose arms fell off. I actually like stuff like this more, because it becomes something abstract. It allows you to change the world around you simply by changing your perspective. What was a machine is now a mystery, a piece of art, something to pull an emotion out of a viewer or someone actually allowed to touch it. What was a machine becomes something of a living organism when you get to see its constituent parts, its colors, its guts and all of that good stuff...and well, this is a perfect example of that...an ability for this piece to open things up. And it's funny...I wonder how much of The Machine in Agara is inspired by stuff like this. I have yet to reveal any physical aspect of the Agaran Machine...and I rather like the mystery of it, but I have to say that when I see things like this, I think of that fictional piece of cryptic, anachronistic technology, and for me, there's nothing better than that. Any piece of art that sparks my own is good stuff indeed. This is good stuff! Oh, and in case I forgot to say, I like this a lot!

Still a work of art mate! Coz I would not have a clue! lol A great and indeed interesting shot.. Thanks. Rob

Love that kind of engine !
