Cool!! It almost looks futuristic, while still looking like urban ruins!

Looks like something to sort material by size. That, or it was used to discipline employees.

*sigh* Seeing this kind of massive abandonment is what makes my heart go pitter-patter! Thanks for going where I am not able, Motts!

New wallpaper!!! THANK YOU!

This is a spectacular shot.

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.

Dudly Doright saved Nell from that one.

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!

Oh, oh, oh... WOW!

<3

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!

Thanks for the new gallery Motts,
always looking forward to the next one.

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

I love the contrast, great shot Motts
