Gears.L1010196, with story

Description

Inner city businesses often will cover their windows at night with a steel curtain for protection.  Every day they open, they must lift them so shoppers can view the items for sale.

After some years the gears take on a patina of rust, grease, and just wear.  I found this mechanism in Findley Market, in the "Over the Rhein" district of downtown Cincinnati, Ohio, USA, while I was working on the photos for an historical book about this famous farmers market, now home to many eclectic shops, as well.

Feel free to download, just give me photo credit.

Nice remains of a machine here, more some reminding sculpture.
Is it turned 90°, guess ye. Nice described I mean the over the rhein district lets me think of german settlers round the area, who just took names of their earlier homeland with ´em.
