This photo is taken in the Duisburg-Nord Landscape Park, a monument of industrial cultural heritage. This is a massive industrial wasteland, measuring 200 hectares, which has been transformed into a multifunctional park.
Former industrial facilities have been converted to a variety of different uses. The former factory buildings have been converted to accommodate cultural and corporate functions; an old gasholder has become a diving centre; the former ore storage bunkers have been turned into alpine climbing gardens, and an extinct blast furnace has been developed into a panoramic tower.
In my opinion a great project where industrial heritage is saved for the future. For photographers it is a Walhalla as well: so many beautiful structures, buildings and lovely ´paintings´ of rust and flaked paint. Rust roest, literally.

Millions of dollars of gold and silver were mined here from the 1860's until mining operations suddenly ceased in 1941 by executive order of President Franklin D. Roosevelt...
