Tomb of the Unknown Machinery.

Steve Chapple

Tomb of the Unknown Machinery.

Shot from a loft view within the Old Cellulose Factory near Millicent in the Limestone Coast region of South Australia.

It was as if the machinery had been swallowed up and buried in situ when they closed this magnificent old factory.

Went out today with Biggzie for a scouting session within the factory in prelude to the photographic session to be finalised soon with Tony Ryan from Melbourne.

PS: Happy birthday Biggzie!!!

Canon 400D 18-55 three shot HDr processed in Photomatix.

    No one can see it…
    No one can hear it….
    their settlements,
    like tombs…
    and inside…
    the thumbing…
    the gearing…
    the rolling of eternal wheels
    of productivity.
    Light…electrical…
    magical endevour of mankind,
    mute dead…
    while the sun…
    stops by the mist…
    formed by the tears
    of the fellowmen…
    that had left their souls…
    and days of labour…
    with them….sisters-machines.

    Very effective processing, the image really is quite spooky, without the title I would have thought of something much more sinister. Great image.
