What a photographic playground! And well executed

Blimey! That steel plant looks massive!

If I ever got near it with a camera I'm not sure I'd be able to drag myself away. I'm looking forward to more photos of this...?

Those stacks in shot #1 are massive and help to convey a moody tone to the decrepit building below. Very good shot!

I hope you've got more images of this series to post. I love 'em...

Did you get in the plant area? Would the calendar enable you to get inside. Great pictures.

Charles is so right. I could spend days photographing a place like this. The colors, the textures. C'est magnifique! Brings back old memories of working for Bethlehem for a summer before starting university many moons ago.

~if/when you head to the other side of this fine state you will have to make you way through the old steel mills located in/about PGH, tons of great textures and such to shoot, and now that I think about it, why have I not shot them myself?~

wonderful - I particularly like the second shot.

wow Kathleen, the centre shot is like something out of a terry gilliam film, this huge dystopian industrial thing dwarfing this more human building. I would love to come down and go snooping around in there... :)

These are all stunning, and as other have said I hope you'll post more from this site. I'm curious about the color on the roof in the top shot. Is it paint? rust? reflection from the sky?

Oh how I wish I could visit this historic site. Fantastic shots.

As I mentioned when you posted pictures from Bethlehem Steel in August, I was thrilled to learn that the plant from the song really did exist. I return to those photos often, especially the first in the series. Thank you for sharing more pictures of this place.
