Description
Colorized photo from 1936
Original title: Artillery production
Photographer: Harris & Ewing
Location: Washington Navy Yard, Washington DC
I think the photographer was in the gantry to get that. Or maybe he was dangling from a cable, because the angle was super weird. The left side is straight, the cables would hang straight down. But I couldn't get it to be totally straight because of the perspective.
Because I straightened it, I had a large chunk missing on the left, and cloning that back in took some time.
What are they doing in this scene? I have no idea. Based on the angle it seems they are dumping that thing into that hole vertically. But that doesn't make sense.
I like the foreground junk lying everywhere. Lots of random wrenches. I also like those fuse boxes for some reason. I would be curious to know what that elevator thing is on the platform. It seems to have a bell and a cooling area, but seems to use rope and not cable.
Also I thought it was interesting that there is only one fire bell. Unless the other one is hidden on the opposite end. I do wonder if those tiny lights on the wall and the ceiling really lit anything at night.
