It looks like something designed to separate heavier sediment or liquids.

Beautiful and haunting. Have found a few similar things in some abandoned houses. Nothing like this, just a few odds and ends, plus they had only been empty for a few years.

What an amazing gallery and find!
Tom as always your photography skills amaze me, and my favourite abandonments are homes so this set just blew me away. :) It's been a very long time since I have commented in here, but this one just calls to me. Well done!

Cool piece! I wonder if the middle section use to house a clock?... looks like an old Grandfathers clock would fit nicely there.

Loving this old overnight kit. Awesome find with the used toothpaste, and silver bar-soap holder. The lighting and the clarity of this shot is spectacular. Good job Motts!

I can so see paintings of various family members hanging on those walls watching everyone that entered.

What a great shot! Love the overall view here with the vacuum cleaner , wooden doors and staircase. Someone i know who views these pics will love that lighting fixture! :)

Awesome view of these old, cobwebby jars and hand mixer. The largest jar looks like the contents separated and turned into clabber of some sort.

What a great picture. It's like being there in solitude, in a great church of the industrial age. That place is glorious in decay.

To get cloud trails in the daytime, you'll need to slow down the exposure for a few seconds; the longer you can keep the shutter open the longer the trails will get (also depends on how fast the clouds are moving). This can be done with filters on the lens and a tripod.

I used an infrared filter on the lens in this shot to be able to get an exposure for abut 30 seconds, as it cuts out most of the visible light spectrum. As a result, it makes a long exposure for cloud trails; it also darkens the blue of the sky and makes foliage appear white.

For long exposure daytime photos in color, I use a very dark ND filter which will also give you cloud trails without the infrared effect.
B R I C K: Such a good look indeed.
