I really like this one. You have done a nice job of keeping this a relatively "clean" shot, but the contrasting colors and the contrasting shapes make it stand out.
God, I'm glad I'm not an art critic - I don't know how to say what I really want to say.

Wow!! that there is a pneumatic control station.
Compressed air was used to control the opening and closing of valves.
Electrical signals can be translated to pneumatic and vise-versa.

And I have do agree, you captured that very well, Kudos.

That is technically called a pilot valve, a device used to pneumatically measure and control a regulating valve. The photography is good however.

My apologies i realized after posting that i came off sounding rude, and well i was wrong. The device is a valve positioner it monitors the position of control valve and compares it to the input signal from the pilot valve. Very cool pictures and great site been in this power plant several times and used to work for nissequogue river state park who now owns the property. Keep the great photos coming.
