"Sloss Stacks" - Birmingham, Alabama. Sloss Furnaces is now an historic landmark in Birmingham. It used to be a major blast furnace supplying the nation with pig iron during the industrial revolution during the latter half of the 19th century. Many people believe it to be haunted because so many people were killed there on the job. Photographers are welcome to shoot the site, but must first get a pass to do so in advance.

Thank you. Sloss Furnaces is a candy store of textures and form.

Sometimes I get permission, but most of the time these places are so easy to access illegally/people don't typically mind if you're just taking pictures. Getting permission is often times much more difficult than illegal access...

Ah, this shot again! I love that second shot, Jeffrey, saw it somewhere else too (and probably commented there too

Thanks, Carsten. It's always nice to know that my image can positively survive two viewings by the same person in this world of short attention span cyberspace.

I love this shot.
When I was a struggling photographer I worked as a welder (18 to 25 yrs old about), I use to hand weld those tube ends on titanium heat exchangers much like this one (this one looks like its carbon).

Seems like it was as long ago as the exchanger in this picture!
