Really awesome set, which inspired me to comment for the first time. I appreciate that you've taken the time to learn about steel mills and how they work. The explanations make your pictures all the better!

Looks like a giant's plaything, carelessly tossed aside...

Impressive, and really gives you a sense of the sheer size of this place. Steel mills give a whole new meaning to the phrase "larger than life."

Lucie, if I remember correctly they hold several hundred tons of steel at a time...so yeah, they are pretty darn big. Poor deer didn't have a chance...

Mammabear, the ladle is lined on the inside with refractory brick, which is a type of ceramic that can withstand extremely high temperatures.

And actually I thought the plan was to likely use the land for recreational/park use. I mean right out front is huge sign that's thanking the Waltham taxpayers for their help in acquiring the something small number of acres of land and "building" for the enjoymant and use of the city's residents. Kinda ironic isn't it that it's "public" land but still effing cops are nonetheless on the lookout for "trespassers" **rolling eyes" ;)

See my similar very long description down near the bottom of the posts under the first pic in this album. ;) :)

Sent away, yes. But to where?

I think the phrase was from a Twilight Zone episode with Burgess Meredith.
