What a wonderful image. Very well seen Ian.
This is the type of photograph I enjoy viewing.
I would live to spend a day photographing in a place like this.

Jim,

There is an incredible amount of photographic opportunity packed into an about a four hours drive circle up here. From Badlands and Ghost towns to Majestic mountains and little grubby industrial gems like the one above.. you'll have to come up for a visit sometime.

Randy. I much prefer my techpan in Pyrocat over Rodinal. It's sharper and holds the highlight detail better.

Cheers,
 
Ian I really love this picture and wish I could find somewhere like this to shoot. Doubt if mine would be anywhere near as good as this one though. But practising would be fun
 
Thomas,

It was the first petroleum processing plant in Alberta. It ran from the 30's till the 80's.

Tony, thanks for the compliment but please, no running yourself through the mud.
 
Ian, Errrm that would be my model having to run through the mud, I'd be warm and dry as always
