I see that even though they left all the machinery inside, the rails outside appear to have been salvaged.

It's also heartening to see that for all the industrial havoc they wreaked upon the landscape, nature has managed to bounce back nonetheless.

It looks ginormous, like one of those searchlights they put at car lots and grand-openings. But it couldn't have been that big... just the angle, I'm sure. Still, a genius shot!

This whole place looks like it would have been an OSHA nightmare. Safety may have been a priority but I doubt it was the first one!

Are those tags paper? If so, I bet they'd disintegrate if you so much as breathed on them.

Crispy Crap!!! That's one vicious piece of ironwork!

Perfect shot!

The greatest talent you have, Motts, is - I think - being able to see the details that are worth capturing, and knowing how to align yourself to capture them in the best possible light. Some people would just overlook a thing like this simple yet intriguing box, especially when surrounded by the silent, frozen chaos of machinery such as what you found here. Somehow, though, you managed to see the potential in this scene... and now here we sit, fascinated by your visions.

As always, I applaud you!

I can't even imagine how hot and loud this place was.

Looks like it's about the size of my cat. O.o

I'd think it would all be too heavy to transport anywhere, Ferdy. But I was thinking along the same lines... there's probably thousands of dollars of scrap metal in this place.

I'm also with Dave though - I'd hate to see it scrapped. It is lovely and serene in its silent retirement.

Oooh, NICE! Great angle!

Are those old rollers on a conveyor belt of some kind? I'm lovin' the thick dust layer.

It's really hard to say what that might be... heavy and dangerous to unwary fingers and toes, but as to its original purpose? Hmmm...

I love the deepening shadows in the background, with the rusty stairs ascending overhead. This is a great shot.
