Nestled between a fence and the building it protects, is this elaborate array of fire suppression infrastructure.
Fire Equipment
I like fire suppression equipment (see Colorful Fireplugs, Street and Parking Lot Hydrants, Open Hydrant, On the Road Again – and Fireplugs, Fire Plugs, Yellow Hydrant Sculpture).
Charles Sheeler really enjoyed painting and photographic mechanical things…do you know his work? I like the way you always contrast it with the landscape. (K)
He was a photographer and painter, no? Industrial scenes, I think. The image that sticks in my mind from him is a complex that reminds me of ConEd’s 14th street complex.
Yes. He loved industrial buildings, but also did close ups.
