Black and white photo of an antique lathe, which has an electrical motor connected to a spindle on the left, and various pipes and clamps to hold the other end of the spindle on the right. The stark afternoon light on the abandoned runway makes everything very high contrast.

Ceiling of the #Denver Convention Center.

#MonochromeMonday #MachineryMonday

Black and white photo of the ceiling of a large room. There are pipes, conduits, and wires running every which way. The photo is on an angle, so it is all crisscrossing diagonal lines. In the middle you are looking up into a well-light space where everything is seen in a vivid light. On other areas, the closer ceiling is visible with a speckled texture of fireproof foam.

The view inside my treadmill for #MachineryMonday.

#PhotoMonday

A line of metal rollers from below, every eighth larger than the rest, are shining with illumination from above, as light seeps in through the cracks in the treadmill belt on top. The bottom of the treadmill on top has a yellow band of lined plastic along the edge holding the treads together and providing color for the otherwise monochrome photo. In the bottom right, you can see the tread pattern of the treadmill as it takes its return journey along the bottom of the device back to the front.

If #MachineryMonday is not a thing then it should be.

I don't think that #MachineryMonday is a thing, so I will use #MonochromeMonday to post this industrial rug dryer at Gallagher's Rug and Carpet Care in #Portland (who I highly recommend for your rug cleaning needs).

#Photography

The end of a 20 foot long cylindrical rug dryer. A powerful electric motor on the bottom is connected to the drum on top by four rubber belts. The frame is very solid looking metal with angles and big bolts.
