Let the power of human ingenuity wash over you.
Big planes, extractors, and all things machines make us feel like giddy little kids. The people who make them, and the power behind them are enough to make us stop in our tracks.
So if you're anything like us, you'll be awestruck by the absolute wonder that is big machinery. Let these images of modern marvels fill you with wonder and hopefully a bit of shock and awe.
There is always an exception to the rule and in this case, bigger is better.
