Was going to give you a hint...but no hint for you:-)

Very interesting image Bill. Looking at it, it looks like a tricky exposure but you seemed to have nailed it. I have no clue BTW :)
I was going to say it looks like fermentation tanks but the salt puts me off.
We used to use that exact same brand of salt crystals to soften our well water, so I'm going to guess that it's some kind of water treatment device (though wysiwg's fermentation tank guess sounds good too)...
desalination plant is my thought
I think it's a water softener or a beer brewing kit !!!
No idea mate but it's very interesting.
My assumption is a desalination plant. Modern equipment in an old building. Nice photo of it. You really have an eye for things like this. Keep up the good work! :-)
I have no idea...but it's certainly cool....
Looks like a good place to hide a dead body.
The answer to, "What is it?": Two winners...photosynthesis and jayfar! This is water softening equipment used between 1909 and sometime in the 1940s when this old water pumping plant switched from steam to diesel for pumping water from the Rio Grande River for irrigation. Water must be softened before being turned into steam for a steam engine or it will foul the many pipes in the boilers and ruin the boilers with mineral deposits. Special credit goes to Andrea for thinking out of the box:)
Well, it appears I'm late to the party, but I was going to say the same as .photosynthesis and jayfar - some kind of water-softening apparatus. Then again, it could be that thing the Girls are looking for! LOL
Really cool and detailed shot of it, Bill!
Your picture makes it look so much cleaner than it actually was!! That tank looks clean enough to run milk through or something. A terrific shot, showing off the volume of the room. Nice work!
Superb capture Bill. God bless.
Good one Andrea. I didn't have a clue!!
well, I see that I was wrong. I agree about your quality exposure in a tricky situation
fabulous capture and I had no idea what it could be, for me it could be a lot lol interesting answer I didnt know 😃
you told us what it was after 9 comments, which means that everyone after those 9 comments was left out to dry. There's a lawsuit in there somewhere. BUT. (And yes, that was a loud 'BUT'.) You're ALL wrong: It's a boiler unit being lifted and redied for launch. C'mon, LOOK at it, dammit: It's being hoisted up in Cape Kennedy, and that "Solar Salt"? It's going to the sun to return their damned salt, because it's wayyyy to salty and gives high blood pressure. (Water softening my ass! Water's plenty soft! Ya ever get a cut from water? Case closed...) As a photo, it's a big melange of verticals and horizontals and light and shadow, and I love the 'din' and geometry of it; and the blues of the bags on bottom (love the color contrast). A big profusion of a shot, and I love it.
(You may not have known this---this is for real, now---solar salt is what they use to melt ice on the sun. You smirk, but you gotta figure, that's some heavy duty ice if the sun's heat doesn't melt it...so they contract Americans to make salt that'll melt it. Stop me before I make a total ass of myself. I'll move on...)
