Mechanical Wonder

During our trip to Mexico we stayed at Grand Palladium Resort north of Cancun…I’ve mentioned this before.  Inside the resort, there are a number of restaurants, bars and stores all of which have a different theme/design.  One of them is a Café and deli, which was designed as a urban contemporary look that included this giant floor to ceiling mechanical clock.  This clock ran all kinds of pulleys and cables that helped other objects in the Café run/move.  In fact, the mannequin on the bike in the left corner of this photo was run by the clock.  His legs pumped the bike peddles that turned the wheels.  I liked the clock and the entire Café.

Carrie Furnace

I need to get out and take some photos soon.  I’m going through withdrawal and I don’t like it.  I enjoy processing photos, but its not even close to the happiness I feel when I’m out exploring an area and trying to capture it’s beauty with my camera.  The last photos I took were over a month ago…..  so sad…

By the way, I took this photo at the Carrie Furnace south of Pittsburgh.  This is part of the larger mechanical structure.  I sort of liked this perspective.
