Red fire extinguisher on a bright blue wall in the gristmill from Weipertshofen, Hohenlohe Open-air Museum, Schwäbisch Hall, Germany
  • Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Objects#Containers
  •  Info A modern red fire extinguisher on a bright blue wall in the historical gristmill from Weipertshofen, Hohenlohe Open-air Museum near Schwäbisch Hall, Germany. The complete hallway of that mill is painted blue. In the 19th century, the invention of synthetic ultramarine made blue wall paints affordable for the first time. Some people were so excited about that new colour that they painted complete houses (example) or complete rooms with it :–). All by me, --Aristeas (talk) 15:57, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I was fascinated by the contrast between the vivid red of the fire extinguisher and the bright blue of the wall. And I like the lines – the beams of the timber framing are (more or less) rectangular, but the single diagonal beam and the diagonal shadows cross them, adding some dynamics to the image. Thanks to Cart for suggesting to nominate this photo :–). --Aristeas (talk) 15:57, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Two issues for me: (1) the electric switch and socket, (2) the extinguisher is slightly off centre. Both can easily be fixed by a slight crop as suggested. --Kreuzschnabel 17:41, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • I am afraid I would have to oppose a cropped version as it would be clearly worse than this one. The switch is great because it provides something else to look at. Cmao20 (talk) 13:05, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Thank you for your interesting suggestion, Kreuz. Since last night I have been thinking about whether to propose such a crop as an alternative. I have been hesitant so far, as alternatives always make voting a bit more complex. Several users have given reasons for keeping the switch in the picture; for me, the graphic structure of the lines is another reason – the cable emphasizes the right-angled structure of the timber framing, so that the diagonal beam and the light/shadow strips contrast more strongly with it. Therefore I am foregoing an alternative (for now). Best, --Aristeas (talk) 14:57, 29 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support As it is --Kritzolina (talk) 19:22, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Well-balanced composition with pleasant near-complementary contrast and interesting lighting situation. Taking the hose into account, the extinguisher is almost centered. In my humble opinion, the lead room on the left is okay to direct the viewer to the antique rotary switch and socket, which are an asset to the overall composition. -- Radomianin (talk) 19:57, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Nice that you understand the three tech eras represented in photo (wall, switch, extinguisher). --Cart (talk) 20:03, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
