A hoist mechanism is a movement transmission constituted by two groups (or block), one fixed, the other movable, each comprising an arbitrary number of pulleys, and a rope which connects them. It is used to reduce the effort required (or multiply the force used) to bring the two groups of pulleys. They are used for example to lift heavy objects, or sailing on a boat for the sails.

I do like this one Christian, well written narrative, and I like how we see the blurred background that fits the main subject.

I agree with Sandi - the blurred background helps put the foreground into context - nice work Christian.

Wow, this is a magnificent 3D effect on this amazing capture. Such wonderful textures, detail & love the way the background is softened, it really makes the block & tackle really pop. Bravo my dear friend and right into my favs
