Geevor Tin Mine
The simplicity of this shot appealed to me. A solitary chimney remaining from the old arsenic works at the mine.
A treasure trove of photo opportunities: the (caution: tongue-twister) Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord, the site of a former smelting works and a cultural heritage gem.
The remains of a textile factory in Covilhã, which operated from the mid 19 century till 1972.

Obvodny Canal (Russian: Обводный канал, lit. Bypass Canal) is the longest canal in Saint Petersburg, Russia, which in the 19th century served as the southern limit of the city. It is 8 kilometres (5 mi) long and flows from the Neva River near Alexander Nevsky Lavra to the Yekaterinhofka not far from the sea port. The canal was dug in 1769–80 and 1805–33. By the late 19th century, after to the Industrial Revolution, it had effectively become a sewer collecting wastewater of adjacent industrial enterprises. Eventually the canal became shallow and no longer navigable. The banks of the canal are lined with granite.
I have bee fascinated by an old, industrial building. It was so dark inside, and a bit mysteriously and spooky.
I had to set my camera on ISO 1600, took the photo in RAW.

Remaining stacks of the Bethlehem Steel plant, now surrounded by a park. The lighted walkway is normally open to the public but, alas, wasn't when we were there.
Bethlehem Steel was one of the largest producers of steel in its heyday. It was founded in the mid-19th century, prospered for a while in the railroad boom, and then branched into shipbuilding, where it supplied its steel for the Navy, in particular the (in)famous USS Maine. It later went into shipbuilding business, constructing as much as 20% of the Navy fleet during World War II. The company also supplied steel for the Golden Gate bridge. Most steel production stopped in the 1980-ies and the company was dissolved in 2003. [paraphrased from Wikipedia]
The most famous of the lead mines of the Stiperstones in Shropshire, which was once one of Britain's major lead-mining areas, is Snailbeach.
Mining took place here over hundreds of years until it finally ceased in 1955. In the 1850s, following the Industrial Revolution, the mine was in full production and there were some 500 men employed. In 1877 the narrow gauge Snailbeach District Railway was constructed from the main line at Pontesbury to Snailbeach to transport coal needed for the steam engines and to take the ore away for processing.
Several of the buildings are Grade II-listed and English Heritage has declared the Snailbeach Mine to be a Scheduled Monument.
this view from the thames bank has completely captured me.
enjoy your week end :-)
