Rice Mill

This picture shows the engine and drive belts of a very old rice mill in Can Tho province, Vietnam. The mill sorts kernels by size and weight, using large shaking tables and screens.
You can see the main drive shaft off to the left, where many more belts dissapear up into the bowels of the machine.
The photo itself is a composite of several long exposures taken while leaning against a wall.
