Steam #1

Re-visiting this superb image! It also reminds me of my youth, when I attended South Shields Marine and Technical Collage, one of the foremost centres of learning for Nautical Science in the world. (It is estimated that about one in six of all Marine Students would pass through it at some point in their careers.) I regularly used to pass the ship's engine room simulation and this picture reminds me somewhat of that, even though it was taken in a textile mill. The Principles of Physics would apply regardless, so a bit of nostalgia for me. If only I looked like I looked back then, but knew what I know now....!!!

An amazing capture! My late father would have loved this, as he was fascinated by all forms of engineering, particularly mechanical, as this was his specialty.
