Good shot. It doesn't mean a thing to me however. (;

I appreciate this for what it shows; a way of life mostly now gone from the United States where raw materials were transformed into usable products by hard working men and women to used around the world.

Big Mike, I think you said much more about yourself in your comment than you ever said about the image. I know there are millions of others who agree with you. However, there are others for whom this image and others similar reflects their lives, the dreams of their future, the realization of what they have lost and the questioning of just how they fit into this digitally oriented service driven modern age.

Thank you for the shot. There's something both compelling and horribly sad about abandoned industrial facilities.
It would be very moving to mount Margaret Bourke-White's photo of an operational steel plant (she figured out how to photograph in a steel plant) with this shot.

Dear Bigmike1, You've tweaked my curiosity, tell me what your interested in and I'm sure that I have something in my file that will interest you! In the meantime, check out my post "Unique Hat Rack", that might do it?
Thinking of you, Cheers, malvin

One of many that looks like a pump in one of the buildings at the Bethlehem Steel Plant.
Love the shot ⭐⭐⭐⭐, but somebody was very lax using the broom

Thanks for sharing the photo.
Bethlehem Steel put a lot of people back to work
in the early part of the 20th Century.
Many of the families that left for California, (Kaiser Steel),
left a lot of friends. Now that the (War) is over, few
people remember how good they had it working for the
steel industry in the east.
