Light's Cogsby ~kamuidestiny

Photography / Urban & Rural / Industrial

At Split Rock Lighthouse in northern Minnesota, these gears would need to be wound every two hours to turn the Fresnel lens to warn ships of the shoreline. Nowadays it has been automated and no longer functions for its original purpose (it runs for historic value). From the same lighthouse as Polished History [link] . Contrast levels kicked up for a dramatic black and white.

That's wicked cool looking

~steamby51 Jan 2, 2008

i agree with ratafluke, something you would see in a dream. thats an odd arrangement for a fresnel lens, usually they have a spring and governor type winding device, but it looks like this uses a weight distribution & overdrive configuration

Huh, that's curious... now I wish I had asked more questions about it!

~Ratafluke Dec 14, 2007

There's something lyrical and dreamlike about those cogs, not at all what technology usually looks like. Love your composition, showing a close-up on the front wheel, and the second one like an echo, a memory of its full form.

Thank you very much!!

In a sense it is only an echo of its full form... the lighthouse itself used to be a beacon of safety. Now it's just a tourist attraction.

Nice composition!

~kamuidestiny Dec 9, 2007 Hobbyist Photographer

Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it.

This looks like a small-scale version of Big Ben's clockwork... Big gears are cool...(^_^)

~kamuidestiny Dec 7, 2007 Hobbyist Photographer

Yes, walking through a big clock would be much fun!
