Steel mill at sunset

We have had some really neat cloud formations all day today. Tonight I happened to be going past the Steel Mill at sunset and the sky was looking great.

Thats a nice way to see a steel mill - as a silhouette against a wonderful sky!

Awesome shot, great colours. Looks excellent with that industrial foreground.

Love the contrast between the industrial landscape and the natural sky.

I did not realise that you have steel mill in Auckland. What a competition between the cloud and the smokes.

[Françoise]

Awesome shot Dianne.

[Rachel]

It looks so dramatic. Great capture.

[Brianna]

So much smoke, sure has a powerful feel to it!

[Newbank Lass]

Wow, what a sky there! - Lucy

@yaorenliu Yes it is out at Glenbrook - it is about an hour south west of Auckland City, on the southern end of the Manukau Harbour. It uses the iron from the black sand on the west coast beach and there is an iron ore extraction plant in the nearby forestry area. The iron ore is pumped to the mill in a 'slurry line' pipe (about 10 kilometres long).

Powerful shot. The energy of the steel works against the evening sky is great

[Pat Knowles]

An almost perfect division in the sky there Dianne.....the mackerel red sky & then the dark grey clouds too. Love the smoke clouds against the sky.

[Margaret Brown]

The mill creates a dramatic silhouette.

[David Briggs]

Very nice shot Dianne love the colours, details in the clouds and the silhouette of the industrial buildings with the vapors rising from the stacks.
