Another week, another TtV Tuesday! This week's entry is, let's face it, kind of weird. Is it the wreck of a steam train? Some sort of oil well? Aliens? Nope, none of the above.
It's a bunch of gears, drive wheels, and shafts from a former grain mill on the banks of the Fox River, in Geneva, IL. They've been arranged into a large sculpture, called The Mill Flower. It's on the site of a mill that burned to the ground back in the fifties, if I'm not mistaken. The gears sat in this spot for quite some time-I've seen photos of them just sitting on the ground-before being turned into art. In a nice little bit of historic trivia, they're not too far from home, having been made by the Link-Belt company in faraway Chicago.
I like this shot-it just looks kind of spooky, don't it?
