Sloss Furnace

This is from Sloss Furnace, an old steel mill in Birmingham, AL.

Look at the black inside that, well, whatever it is.

Neat. The overall image is very good (although I would suggest cropping the top just enough to elminiate the shadows of whatever is just outside the frame), and there are a number of excellent images within this overall scene.

The whatever is a sight glass - there would have been a piece of high-temperature glass in the port that allowed operators to see what was happening inside the furnace.
 
Thank you Mono. I also would crop the bottom slightly (after I uploaded it I realized that I "overshot" the image slightly-i.e., the image doesn't fully cover the paper).
 
Great subject matter, and a well done print, I agree with Monophoto, this subject has much potential.
 
Thanks for the input (just giving a comment to bring this back to the top of the list!)
