Locomotive drive rod with icicles: Kelly Lynch, Chicago, Illinois A carefully blurred image with a selected point of focus that directs our eyes to the incongruity of hot steam and cold steel. The drive-rod of Nickel Plate Road locomotive 765 suggests a winter disposition as the engine inches forward in the morning light for servicing during a December fire up in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The scene is filled with the straight and curved lines of the locomotive wheels, rods, and rails, yet our eyes are taken directly to the icicles. |
