Grooves

These are grooved iron blades of an old hydro-electric turbine (1924–1994) standing on the bluffs above a River dam.

__________________________________________

The turbine is around 10-foot-tall.
I came across it when I was biking along the river yesterday.

It's from the former Motor Plant,

which harvested energy from the river dam below.

The iron blades were worn (by water?) where they curve--I circled the area in yellow. 

The grooves are surprisingly different from one another, 
like bones and bodies.
They are so beautiful, I walked around and photographed each blade.
