Rachel: This is a stator for either a motor or a generator. The rotor has been removed, presumably for scrap. In alternating current systems, both drive motors and generators appear the same, but for a motor, electricity through the stator creates rapidly alternating magnetic fields, causing the rotor to turn. In generators, an external source, usually steam-driven turbines, spin the rotor, causing that rapidly changing magnetic polarity that results in electric current.

Motts Keep taking more pictures!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!

Love the Colors too?????? Motts what Camera did you use?????

Love the Colors too????

Great shot.. The contrast between the rusty building and the greenness of the foliage bespeaks of the constant war between nature and man..

Great shot, but a little photo shop help to increase the 'mistiness' while retaining the lighting would have brought this to a level par with Silent Hill..

Very excellent shot.. The red contrast against the aged decay is stunning..

Another angle of nature's attempt to reclaim mans defilement.. Great shot..

Excellent depiction of natures redemption of mans constant construction..

Wow Canada. Great minds think alike ! The first thing I thought when I saw this picture was that of a gaping maw.

the little engine that couldn't :)

Thanks Motts, another look at abandonment through your eyes! :-)

Great shot Motts, the colours, light and perspective are wonderful. It's huge!

Wow, nice colours Motts!

Oh jeebers, I love this shot! The lighting is killer!
