Thanks Mike, it was stuck onto the shaft and so I just left it alone. Various parts are sort of hidden in a corner of our back yard and have gotten bits adhered. Some leaves, some pine needles, etc.

Wow, as a beginner, I have no idea how you could create that black circle and on the same time allow for a look at the glass inside the circle. Cool effect, can you explain this to me?

Thank you!
I understand what you did (theoretically). My photo editing skills are for now limited to moving some sliders to change the overall look.
Before moving on in this area I want to experiment still more with different photo-areas and exposures. That’s why I jumped into the challenge here as I have never done sny black and white photography (will not leave it with the two pictures)
It’s very interesting to see and learn from what you (and others) have done here!

Thanks again for your tips and encouraging words. I will keep trying and the intentional review of photography and composition books is now on the list of many many todos.
