    Gravel depot, conveyor belts and warehouse

    (ISO 100, f8 @ 25mm, 30sec., 23:51) I remember that I almost passed by this place but an endless row of railway cars attracted me to take a closer look. The ground around it was one huge puddle from the recent rain and despite it was almost midnight there were still some trucks queuing for their turn to get in. The closest one had his radio on and believe it…

    Box No. 1

    (ISO 100, f8 @ 25mm, 15sec., 23:10) This is the entrance area of the limestone mine of my previous upload. I never experienced a place which was so immersed in dust. The dust was everywhere.

    Three flood light poles and the moon

    (ISO 100, f2.5 @ 25mm, 2,5sec., 22:32) This is the harbour of an open-pit limestone mine. In the distance you can see the chimneys of the old processing plant.

    This might get ugly #18

    (ISO 100, f16 @ 30mm, 1/80sec., 12:12) This is the dead tree stump of a rainforest species on the left side of the image and it sits right in front of the building’s main entrance. Inside you would find a tropical landscape with over 20.000 species of plants, an artificial waterfall and every hour – a simulated thunderstorm. Don’t let this architecture mislead you, yes, it is brutalist but at…

    This might get ugly #17

    (ISO 100, f6.3 @ 38mm, 1/320sec., 11:40) The sign says: “You are leaving the American sector” in English, Russian, French and German language. This isn’t the real Berlin wall. It is a replication made of wood and build for the movie “Der Baader Meinhof Komplex” about the German left-wing extremists group from the 70’s and the reaction of the German society around this.
