That's bizarre. I found the caption for the photo and had Google translate it:

"Konrad-Adenauer-Platz 09.05.2009: monument or art? This question is to the viewer when you visit the upturned steam locomotive 52 2751 in front of the theater in Marlborough in the northern Ruhr.
The 1944 built by Henschel in the factory number 27991 locomotive is considered the world's largest sculpture of the late Berlin action artist Vostell. The sculpture, emblematic of the situation of Germany at the end of the 20th Century, with the title "La Tortuga" (The Turtle) was designed by Vostell for the exhibition "Berlin myth" for the 750th anniversary of Berlin.
After their exhibition on the grounds of the former train station pickups they came to Marl in 1993, where he was entombed in a walk "Crypt". It is part of the sculpture park in Marl "glass box".
The locomotive is presented to the viewer as today almost rust heap. Since its installation in Berlin seem to have been carried out on the machine, no maintenance work. Whether this was intended by the artist is, the knowledge of the author escapes. Getting used to is the sensor-controlled sound engine with voices from the tender."

I live in a small town with some really old buildings. I spotted this in a very narrow alley this morning. I could not get it all in one pic due to the fact that I had my back up against the other wall to take this pic. I also have a shot of the top of this window if someone is interested but it is really washed out from the morning sun.

Wow, it's been awhile since I posted anything.   A friend of mine who is a diver out in the Gulf of Mexico emailed this picture to me the other night.  I'd never seen it before, but it's way cool and thought I'd pass it on to the crew.  Sorry if it has been posted before.

Wow, that is really cool/funky/bizarre!  Is that a model, or a real suit?

[compressor man]

Wow! First thing I thought of after seeing that was 'articulated coffin'

I think these were used as a force cure for claustrophobia.
