Thanks HG

I think it is called a radiosonde. Basically it is attached to a helium baloon and allowed to float up into the armosphere. They measure information used in weather forecasting. The series of cones arragged in a circle measure windspeed.

Interesting shots. I will try and give it a visit someday.
If I may comment:

1.Bold primary colours, but I think it is crying out for a square crop.
4. I love the green colour, but i think the image is a bit flat. Try and boost the contrast and saturation a bit. Also a closer crop on this would help too.
5. I love the colours here, and the image is very interesting (what is it ?), but i find the top left and right detract from the image.

Thanks Peter. If you like old things, mostly engineering, then It is well worth a visit. Clicky. The staff are pleasant, helpful and enthusiastic.

Having read your comments I can see exactly what you are saying.

No5 is the control panel for a railway signal.
