Weekly Challenge #472 - No longer functioning · 11:23 PM

For this challenge I invite members to submit images of machinery that no longer functioning. Worn out, obsolete, broken, beyond repair. The more unusual the better.

Good luck

The Challenge will run from now until next Tuesday September 24th

Every week, a new theme is picked and judged by the winner of the previous week.

Rules
1. Post ONE photo.
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme.
3. Post your single picture in this thread and explain what motivated you to take the picture and/or how you feel it represents the weekly theme (especially if it's not obvious).
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and choose one of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus an additional day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax camera can be used.
8. Pictures can be from any time frame, not just within the week of the current theme.
9. In case the winner of a challenge is unable to become the judge for the next challenge, they will PM the #2 winner for that person to be the judge.

Examples...

1. Water wheel encrusted with calcium deposits. Cape Leuuin Western Australia
2. Blast furnace in the hills near Geelong Victoria.

You sir are absolutely correct. I just googled an image of a Zephyr and it is indeed a Mk2. Thanks for that.

I used to ride it as a kid. I saw it broke down and decided to take some pictures of it. This was in 2012, I don't know if it is around anymore.

Some really great examples of decay and ruin.

A few hour to run so still time to enter.
