The Marly Machine was a large hydraulic system built in 1684 to pump water from the river Seine and deliver it to the Palace of Versailles.
This building located along the pipelines was part of the intermediate station of the "mi-côte".
It has been abandoned for a long time and nature with its resilience is gradually reasserting itself.
Taken with a Nikon D810 + AF Fisheye-Nikkor 16mm f/2.8D mounted on a Nodal Ninja 3 MkII head. One row of six shots + zenith/nadir. Optimized with Photoshop/Camera Raw, stitched with PTGui and KRPano Tools.
