I wish I could have seen that place back in the 50s when it was rip-roaring and full of life.

It's a testament to mans genius. I love the near monochrome

It certainly is, and what a spectacular sight it is to stand before it. So little in this regard is done today, aside from those giant skyscrapers being built in certain corners of the world. It really was a time that has passed by.

That's really cool. Reminds me a lot of Gasworks park here in Seattle. Was it a coal gasification power plant or was it a foundry or what?

This is the iconic Bethlehem Steel plant in Pennsylvania which produced steel, obviously. It's been shutdown for about 2 decades now but new renovations have begun to turn it into an art center while keeping the structures intact. Quite the example for how something of this magnitude should be preserved.

Whoa! When I saw this, I thought it was the old steel foundry of my city... but now I know it's other foundry o.o
They're very similar! Great shot!

Yes many do have similar appearances but this one is in Pennsylvania. Thanks for the kind words & for taking the time to share them!

Thank you! At a glance it really does appear monochrome, the detail of this place doesn't lie in the color but the texture. And too much color makes texture less noticeable.
