Well, I'm not from NY, but I'll give it a shot. I saved the pic and turned up the gamma so I could actually see it. Looks like a couple burners and since the name of the file is boilerface.jpg, my guess is the burners from a boiler.

Good Gad. How am i supposed to know - after all- if i had my way i'd a been a native of key west and spend most of my time daydreaming about it..............sun, fish, hats, glasses, x-treme sunburn(only once), conk, partying with gay people all the time (woooHOOOOOOOOOOOOO 8), telling people that i'm wearing a "new york" dress when i really bought it at the neighborhood thrift....

i'm going to live at Hemingways one day and feed the cats. I'll have to ask him about the cat in THAT pic ;;D

I'm gonna guess that it's an aerial view of a railway yard.
Which one...I don't know. Hell...I'm not even sure that's what it is. [smiley=laugh.gif]

I know i'm wrong, but it reminds me of a section on one of the towers of St. Patricks Cathedral...

Looks like there is a lens. And the underexposed clue... would lead me to guess part of a camera?

Jill

Amazing what will entertain us- eh?

If it's not a crematorium, then it's an amusement ride.

Well Gator's close....... and so are several of you.
It is part of a steam boiler used to produce power in a pulp plant. Nothin' to do with New York tho' - I meant New Year!! ( ::) Kiwis)

We'd just poured these oil guns - the "eyes" on the pic - in this fairly old boiler (1950s vintage, Foster Wheeler) so with my new digicam I took some pix.
I was looking at them on the computer while our daughter stood behind me.
"Look Mum! It IS haunted!! It's got a face!"

Some of the work really is art.

Filbert - we'd just FIXED it!
Grandma - Many have said that most of the places we work look like the entrances to hell, and we joke that they'll need plenty of brikkis there........
Jonny - one day I'll post a pic of my vibrator......... (the one we use to ram product in) (NO NO! NOT ram it in THERE!) but you'd dig the welding and steelwork - all stainless and a true work of industrial art which sadly, no-one ever sees ('cept us)
Thank you all for your guesses.

Silly file name tho'. Gave the show away. I'll fool y'all next time.........

BTW
it's only a few hours from midnight down here so

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks kinda like the top end of a 2 BBl. carborator on an old Ford. Just couldnt figure the cooling fins.
