As a new segment of my ongoing photography projects, I recently visited the world class Reynolds Museum. Hidden in plain sight in the fields west of the building is the Outdoor Industrial Display. A magnificently eerie resting place for rare and obsolete heavy equipment, these draglines, excavators, shovels, locomotives, tractors and diesel trucks were used in coal mining operations, sewer and water and heavy construction projects during the early to mid-1900s and onwards.
The fields are a dream come true for heavy equipment operators and mechanics as well as a treasure trove of spectacular images for photogs like us who love this sort of shoot. What a great day!
