Deserted

Still empty and stood silent the steel works leaves a rusty blot on the landscape.
Apparently there are negotiations going on for a new owner to take over but I will believe it when it happens. I must say for me it’s part of my childhood and growing up, ugly I know but Redcar wouldn’t be the same without it. It has an ugly beauty in certain lights!

A great skeletal monstrosity full of rust standing there ! - will it ever come to life ! - A great shot - fav

[bkb in the city]

Great shot. It will be interesting to see what happens

[Suzie Townsend]

It really pops on black doesn't it? It is a beautiful structure and I think makes for a fabulous photo op. For your sake I hope it reopens. Who knows what is going to happen this new world we seem to have.

[Joan Robillard]

Wonderful

[Mags]

Great shot! I'm a big rust fan. FAV! May I pin? Could provide some needed jobs if someone will take over and turn it into some kind of business.

[Judith Johnson]

It certainly does - I like the light on the grass and the way the structure stands out against the darkening sky

[haskar]

Great shot and edit.

[FBailey]

Makes quite a statement

The gray sky goes well with the industrial building.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Great shot

[Peter Dulis]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder 😊

[Pyrrhula]

Nearly/ a great urban capture. This kind of photography is populair now here.

[Babs]

I don't think it is ugly, I love industrial scenes and it is a huge fav for me.

I bet it would look good in black and white too.

[Kathy]

It's very old-style industrial. Even with its rust, it seems in good shape. Perhaps it's the distance, but it appears not to be overgrown with weeds as so many abandoned plants are here.

[Spanner]

Excellent.

[Jane Pittenger]

Nice processing and composition

[eDorre]

I like your description of ugly beauty!

[Richard Brown]

Reminds me of the cement works near us. Large man made structures are always engaging to the eye and make good photographs :) fav

[Lynda McG]

Great capture - fav

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Wonderful capture.

[Fisher Family]

A super industrial shot - I know what you mean by ugly beauty, I remember the coal mines in South Yorkshire before they were all closed and cleared - fav!
