I know you weren't happy with the light on this trip Motts, but I honestly think that the dull grey sky adds to this photo! I reckon a gorgeous blue backdrop would detract from the atmosphere.

Were these wires were intentionally cut for reasons other than vandalism? Safety reasons, for example?

I believe the gas was pulled into cooling towers (photos: http://www.pullman-mus...2.pl?recordid=11555), then transported over to the blast furnace over the suspension bridge for reuse or recovery. I do not know exactly what that process was, or what the gas was composed of. The vertical pipe looks like a burn-off mechanism, or perhaps a "scrubber" to clean venting gas (overflow?).
