Description
The only reason I even took this photo is because of the lines and the light; the way the two interacted. I’m not in the habit of walking up to people’s dead air-conditioners and taking photos, but in this case, I was compelled by the striking details, by the play of sunlight along rigid, grime-interrupted lines…and admittedly, by the mysterious gunk that seems to have escaped any attempts at filtration that might (or might not) have occurred. This is one of those photos that I’d intended to use, strictly as stock, but in looking at it (again and again) I also wonder how it functions as a stand-alone piece. It’s something that I rather like.
As always, thank you for viewing, reading, and commenting, and I hope you’re all having a great week.

It has an excellent contrast, thats for sure! But is not dead, I bet it is alive!

Superb capture my friend. God bless.

What makes it as a stand-alone piece are the little imperfections in an otherwise repetitive scene. One twisted fin, a single lodged leaf, and the varying levels of gunk between the fins. It absolutely stands alone!

it does have character and a style that is hard to define. it grabs at the mind and plays with it. downright cool looking

Lots of gunk! Say, I have a radiator that you might want to look at, LOL! Interesting image!

This instantly makes me think of the jumpers ending their own lives at the World Trade Center.

Even if this aeration is no longer intact, it is therefore not dead, the dirt that has accumulated in the slots entails, more life than we would like. And just this growth leads to außergwöhnlichen views. You have an eye for the little details. Very good!

It does display a strangely alluring geometry; it makes a great shot, so it's good that you captured it!

If only that radiator could talk! or air conditioning grill... who knows. but it is a very interesting capture indeed!

I'd say it stands up very well! Love the strange starkness of the manufactured blades, and the organic gunk oozing out at the bottom. That gunk's a little ominous...but then I've been told I'm gunkphobic... Love this!

gosh, i see life in this, not healthy, would be better open the windows during the night.. then let work a old air condition? great light and shadow textures and lot of bogs in the dust ;)

Interesting how the once mathematically perfect blades have been shoved aside for the unwanted gunk that has accumulated. It reminds of otherwise straight dusty country roads, perfect grid like surveying, which must curve to avoid a body of water or other natural obstruction which refuses to conform to human geometrical imperatives. Nature always has another plan which is more resolved than our sense of order.
