One Blade to Go
A partly assembled tidal-stream turbine rests on a workshop cradle beside a window, with two hydrofoil blades fitted and one mounting still empty.

Candid editorial photograph, vertical 4:5, a window-lit object portrait inside a modest marine engineering workshop. One compact tidal-stream turbine prototype rests horizontally on its assembly cradle beside a large side window. Its sealed cylindrical generator housing and rounded metal hub carry two short, broad, swept hydrofoil blades; the third mounting socket is still empty, visibly awaiting assembly. Close three-quarter view, rotor dominating the lower two-thirds, pale workshop wall providing uncluttered space above. Soft natural daylight reveals satin metal, dark composite blades and ordinary machining marks without exaggerated texture. A narrow glimpse of the plain workbench grounds the scene; no arranged tools or decorative props. Photograph as found, realistic exposure, natural silver, charcoal and pale blue colours, moderate depth of field, 50mm lens. Bright, matter-of-fact atmosphere suggesting useful work in progress. No people, no text, no logos or watermarks.
