Steampunk • Italian Style

IMG_3232.jpg

I photographed some machinery near an abandoned mine in Italy. The mine was built in the 1930s and closed in the 1960s. This thingamajig was just tossed to the side of the road under some long leaf bushes. It displays a nice variety of cogs and bolts along with a thick coat of rust... even in the arid environment. It would've been a great souvenir to take home but I couldn't fit it in my bag.

Here's what the thingamajig might have looked like on the side of the road during WWII. I'd feel pretty confident ducking behind this hunk of iron to avoid some bullets.

I photographed the thingamajig with my iPhone 6S Plus.

Thank you @customnature for giving us a venue for our abandoned photos!

I am all over the Steam Punk or should I say Steem Punk!

That is really unique... It looks besuifully aged, like if you polished everything off it could run again! It would be a perfect backdrop for a steampunk photo shoot! Thanks for sharing!
