Steel Factory - June 30-04

This is a souvenir of the past. Here a photo made from a photo.

This happened in 1982 while i was driving in at 3 in the morning in the fog. It was so hard to see anything in front of my car when I passed at the steel factory in south of Luxemburg. At that moment they started blowing the steel and the whole night in the fog was glowing in this bright red yellow you see here.
In a few seconds, my tripod and my Mamyia C330 where set up and i shot 3 pictures of it. The machinery was there like a lost tool cimetary, a ghost city in some way. When I finished the shot I was allmost frozen because it took me more than half an hour.

I presented this picture in 3 major exhibitions, one local and 2 international and won 3 first prizes with it.
I still have the picture in my albums, despite of the fact that the negatives have been lost when I moved over here. At the moment I put some order here in my albums and I discover with much pleasure some works of the past.

This picture is full of atmosphere, dreamy and beautifull, not sinister.
