The title is just so wonderful..... *sigh*

As this area is a park now open for visitors everywhere nothing there is still functioning. Everything has been turned off and cut from electricity to make it as safe as possible. But it still looks cool, because aside from making it safe nothing has been removed!

Not a shadow but a tree

They mostly contained conveyor belts for coal. Some of the smaller ones now contain stairs for the visitors of the park.

Well, "but" and "around" are the words.. ;)

Zollverein is just such a wonderful place to be. Although its a park it still looks very abandoned at many corners. Bur a way better place to wallow in rust is Landschaftspark Duisburg, also a park now, on the grounds of an abandoned smeltery. Both are just araund the place I live :)

It is a gas-cooling device :)

VERY COOL!

Really cool. i like the industrial man made elements VS nature. This what NYC has been doing lately too to old water front sites and factories...

I feel this would be a beautiful and much appreciated wallpaper. perhaps you would consider making it available as one?

Watch that last step, Its a doozy.

wallpaper! please!

i am partial to the bottom right...that lighter orange with the sky blue...very nice! And the darker orange is pretty sweet, too. :)

This is a neat photo.... I also like the contrasting colors.

Amazing. So cold and desolate looking... yet it draws me in, morbidly.
