Some might argue it's more art than technology, but this spider sculpture made from tools and car engine parts. Also looks very lifelike

It's a restricted area, still considered strategically important—so I'll keep the exact location undisclosed. Inside, everything remains solid and intact, capable of concealing civilians if ever needed.

I have thought long and hard about something I could capture that truly gives off a Tech X Nature vibe, and one of the most impressive sights near me I could think to aim a camera at is this:
These two striking hybrids of human technological advancement and nature; Lock and Dams and Power Plants, are essential to commerce and life in many places around the world.
These specific man-made structures powered cities and, to this day, allow boats to move between different water levels along the tributaries of the Mississippi River.
The Peoria Lock and Dam complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 10, 2004, and was originally designed and constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Chicago District, from 1937 to 1939.

In the background, two large smokestacks stand tall, these are remnants of the now-defunct Edwards coal-burning power plant, which officially closed at the end of 2022. The plant also utilized the river to cool and condense steam from its generating process, discharging the circulating water back into the river.
This view offers a truly awe-inspiring vista of human technological advancement and achievement.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers designed this complex located on the Illinois River near Peoria .

The first photo was taken from the Shade-Lohmann Bridge, and the second images shows the bridges in the background which are an impressive pair of twin cantilever bridges that helps millions of vehicles a year travel over the Illinois interstates. https://www.instagram.com/p/DH4AvPzvT_N/

All in all this area is responsible for a lot of commerce in the region and is a huge contributing factor to the viability of such a location for my local cities and towns. We couldn't do it without them!
