The Water Tower

I could subtitle this shot, "An elegy after Giorgio de Chirico".

 

In this photograph I tried to create the somewhat nostalgic and claustrophobic feel of many of de Chirico's early surrealistic paintings. The old water tower and purification plant stands against the sky which represents a lost past (or is it the future?). On the right hand side the wall of the newer factory building (which is also about to be demolished) is leaning in and creating that claustrophobic sense I was looking for.
