Efke Adox KB14 rated at 10 ASA. Contrast was too high for scanner, so two exposures had to be blended to get this; it's still not enough.
Despite the new wire the post of this post and wire fencing at King's Sutton has certainly seen better days, 68010 Oxford Flyer drifts away propelling 1H48 Birmingham Moor Street to London Marylebone.
Shown here is the area behind the Casthouse of Blast Furnace No. 1 at the Warren, Ohio steel mill complex.
Built in 1922 in Warren, Ohio the blast furnace was once the largest in the country. It was also the last standing blast furnace in the Mahoning Valley. The steel mill was founded in 1912 by Trumbull Steel and was once called Trumbull Cliffs. Since then ownership has changed hands many times. In 1929 Republic Steel & Iron took over operations. Then during a J&L Steel (Jones & Laughlin) takeover in 1984, LTV Steel was born. LTV Steel gave way to WCI Steel. The Renco Group bought WCI in 2002 and in 2008 Severstal SA of Russia took over. From this RG Steel formed in 2012. The mill last operated as RG Steel when in 2012 it declared bankruptcy and 1200 steel workers lost their jobs.
This relic is the last remaining piece of the historic Warren, Ohio steelmaking era. It's current demolition will mark the end of steelmaking in the Mahoning Valley.
I was fortunate enough to gain legal access to the site one cold day in March 2017 as demolition equipment was being staged. In October 2017 this beautiful piece of American industrial history is almost gone.
Over the next few months I will be posting numerous photographs from the site.
Macro Mondays - Decay
I feel a bit sad when the flowers die away. They bring such a happy essence to a garden. Flowers are like smiles.
Happy Macro Monday
Some years ago, the ring road around Stockholm was extended towards the east. This area with offices and warehouses is now disused since it is to close to the new motorway. I go there once in a while to document the decay.
The Valley is full of old decaying farm buildings and sheds... this one is close enough to the road for me to snap some pics :)

Winter Gardens, Great Yarmouth. A building that has been in decay for several years, but it looks as though money has been made available to renovate it.
I've been passing by this decaying house almost every single day of my life but only a few months ago I really noticed it.
I waited for the right weather conditions (wind and clouds) to take this long exposure of 504 seconds.
No need to say it, of course: it started to rain and I had a massive shower in the process of taking this picture! :D
