Special Parts

I just returned from spending an unexpected week back home. My father was hospitalized, but is back at home now and doing very well. He took these photos from his hospital room window. I don't know what these things are, but they serve some important function for the hospital. They make me think of our body's own complex little organs and tubes that carry out all the work that keeps us ticking. In the one picture, i like how the neat little black stairs provide access to the control panel and inner workings of those big ducts. Thank you, staff at the St. B., for keeping my dad ticking and taking his photographs for a while longer.
