I love this shot on many levels, the rhythm of it, the high-contrast textures, and those little random elements that always go with hand-built stuff.
There's a different kind of nostalgia too - I must have been one of the last generation of engineering craft apprentices to use copper rivets like those in their projects... knowing they'd never again be used in production as they require too much time and skill to be cost-effective these days.
What a wonderful capture-how did you see that!! Beautiful shot. :))

Oh my gosh.....at first glance I thought they were lights on the running board. *laughing* Darn good thing I was greedy enough to click.
