Looks like a frothy, boiling sea around the base of it.

It looks so high but at the same time the ground looks so close

*gasp*

I want this... huge and framed... and on my living room wall!!

GORGEOUS, Motts!

Im very much afraid of heights too, but to get a shot like this one
i'd probably give the height a go haha

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.

The interior of this place reminds me of
some of the many decaying brick factories we have over here.

Oooh, NICE! Great angle!

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

Wouldn't want to get stuck in that

At first i thought you were looking up, but then i saw the trees

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.

Wow, I LOVE this shot!

All that stuff looks so huge and heavy... when they shut the place down, did they just drag a bunch of stuff to the central areas and drop it there? Obviously these large, rusty items are not in their original working locations. Seems so random and chaotic... and yet still strangely beautiful.

Ha i see it too, nice eye. Wouldnt of noticed if you said nothing

That's a wicked saw blade. Complete with rust. Probably still sharp, from the looks of it!
