Toronto's Don Valley Brick Works hidden colors

I was waiting for the chance to put this gallery together for more than a year. Not because I was lazy or did not have time, but because the place that pictures were taken was forbidden. Forbidden for me and others for several years. This place is the old Toronto's brick factory, known today as a The Don Valley Brickworks. For the history of that place visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Valley_Brick_Works It was build in 1889 and after almost 100 years was closed in 1983. For 20 years it was practically unknown. It was then rediscovered by Toronto's photographers.

Once a year Toronto has an event called "Doors Open Toronto", where privately owned building and sites opening their doors for general public for free. This year I found that the building will be opened for photographers. While it supposed to be 20 minute guided tour, I've "got lost" there and took around 300 shots. Thanks to my Canon 30D, I was able to shoot handheld (tripods were officially not allowed) with F/8 and 1/4 sec, ISO1600 and get practically very low noise level pictures.

Please take a slow walk with me through this amazing place and enjoy the light, the rust, the dust and the amazing colors of this stunning place. Let me know what do you think and if you like or not my gallery. Take time to leave comments. If you feel that the gallery deserves it do not forget to leave your vote and then other people will also enjoy it.
