This piece really caught my eye in my watch-list as its nothing out of the ordinary. Intriguing piece of art and the more I looked at it, the more I liked it.

I love how a soft ray of light comes from the upper left, reflecting on the pieces of metal in the middle of the picture.
Although this seems to be a factory of some sort with the presence of metal all over, you have managed to capture it in such a way that only beauty comes out of it. The green bits on the picture really hold a great part on that.
I love the fact you didn't frame it. The picture is framed on its own so a frame would only made it ' too much ' in my eyes.

Shot perfectly and caught from a great angle giving the image depth, only shows a talented photographer with the ability to discover beauty in the most weird places.
I love the title.. and the words. In perfect harmony with the whole scenery, only shows an artist who puts soul and thought on his work.

Thank you for this, dear.

What it first brings to mind, for me, is the industrial antiquity of the structure. Having been a participant in constructing many factories and refineries I look at the fine points of the complex design and engineering of a structure like this.

Then, I think "If only walls could talk!" I can just imagine myself in hard hat, gloves, and steel-toed boots working the graveyard shift, with my lunch bucket and thermos of black coffee. And, I can imagine the shrill sound of the steam whistle signaling the end of my shift, and going home just as the sun is coming up.

I like the clarity, and depth of field, and I like the inclusion of the well-lite, fresh green vegetation to the left, in contrast to the harsh, red and rusted brown colours of the building.
