*****February Photo Contest Preliminaries Thread #2*****
Come vote for your favorite photos! There are two threads to vote in so make sure you check out both and please help keep these polls kicked.
Poll Thread #1: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027635734
The theme this month was Back to the Future: Stuff that used to be considered the cutting edge of technology - things, places, etc which at one time were the awesome newest tech on earth and now are abandoned to the past.
This is the preliminary vote on all entries then there will be a final vote based on the results of these two polls.

So creative! 
So hard to decide.
Your participation as always is greatly appreciated.
You are one of our number one fans.
I did! 
but the desolation of the one with the sewing machine had to be my final pick...I hear that room.
We had (and used) an old treadle Singer when I was a kid, the poor thing is still sitting out in the summer kitchen on my folks' property, dead quiet now, just like them.
I also loved the remains of that old powerhouse, #6. It was my first choice before I scrolled on down, ha! The coloring of it is what I think is most striking, the moss...besides I'm pretty sure I've been down there to it, if it's the one I think it is, in Oregon. I've always been a nut for viewing old hydro-electric ruins, the rusted generators, the giant transformers, the quiet turbines.
Every one of these are winners, in my book. Impossible choice!
I picked you. The one I pick never wins. Sorry about that. It's a neat picture though.
