 Photographer’s Notes
There is a 19 acre park in Seattle built on the old site of Seattle Gas Light coal gasification plant. Part of the gas works is still there and they are a powerful reminder of Seattle’s post Industrial history. I’ve wanted to shoot these for some time and I will probably return. Click here for a quick history lesson.

But I digress: Reminds me of the "More Bars" television ad for some mobile phone carrier.

Nicely done. Love the tones of the metal. I'm not sure if this is HDR or if you just caught some excellent lighting. Most photos I have done of similar industrial facilities have been lacking, while this is the kind of shot I have envisioned when I take them. Hope you left some good notes in your remarks block. A fave for this one.

Great processing, really pulls out the details without looking overdone. If I'm wrong about the processing, good job on an excellent capture.
