Inside the Giant

Standing at the base of this abandoned concrete cooling tower, I looked up to frame the perfect circle of sky above. The brutalist architecture of these industrial structures offers a unique canvas - the converging concrete ribs create a hypnotic pattern leading to the circular void. I composed the shot to emphasize how this utilitarian structure transforms into pure geometric abstraction, with the harsh concrete elements contrasting against the soft blue sky. The decreasing circles of the tower's construction naturally draw the viewer's eye upward, turning this industrial artifact into a study of light, form, and perspective.
