Qurator's Photo Quest - Let it spin

Hello, photography lovers! I just discovered @qurator 's photo contest and this is my first entry. This quest is about technology and I am posting you and old technology but still much important. This is an electromotor in one of the oldest hydroelectricity plant Vucje. Blueprints are signed also by the famous Nikola Tesla, and it is not a surprise. The power plant is still operational! Djordje Stanojevic, a friend of Nikola Tesla, was intimately involved in this project and made Leskovac one of the first cities in Europe illuminated by hydroelectric power. The Vucje power plant sure is a special one. That is why it’s included in the World's heritage of technology. Vucjak canyon is located 9 miles south of Leskovac and when you get there you are surrounded by nature. Hydroelectric power plant still works with their original motors from 1903 This hydroelectricity plant is in his home country - Serbia. Why I choose this photo? Because sometimes we forget what is that technology which is far more important than latest ones. Actually, without those, we couldn't run a new one. So here it is - An electromotor old. I like the effect of running parts and vivid colors. I hope you like it too.
