MACHINERY
Machines have their own beauty. It reveals itself in their design, their functionality, their age, their history. Sometimes, we find beauty in ugliness or rather what we call ugliness.
Let us also ask ourselves what treasures of ingenuity, skill, work and time the machines contain. They are not always synonymous with progress and are sometimes not very environmentally friendly, but they are undoubtedly part of the development of humanity and as such deserve our attention and sometimes our affection.
