 This was taken on the about 100 years old paddle-wheel ship Gallia on Vierwaldstädter See near Zurich.

A window in the cabin allows to view the paddle, and in the middle of the ship one can see the mechanics of the pollished drive.

There is no Advanced Editing, just Brightness and saturation, USM, resize, USM.

-------------------------

Interesting comments - very differing viewpoints. Thanks guys.

There were no more details available, there was just a small window one could look through.

However to give you some perspective, here's the ship from the outside:



And two shots from the engine (actually the second one is from another ship, but it doesn't make a difference):

Sorry but there is absolutely nothing interesting about this photo, to me this is just a snapshot of something you came across this month. Gave a 3.

I wish we could see more of it to help figure it out, the highlights are a bit blown out, but nice reds. Good luck

Interesting abstract shot. I like how the highlights pick out the rivets.
