Cantley Sugar Factory. This iconic, scenic wonder dominates the East Norfolk countryside, and casts
its exotic aromas far and wide in the wintertime. Actually, I quite like it! (not the smell though)

Very nice work! very much as to the style of John Golden.

Your textured images, so typical of your style and so perfectly composed, have left already for a long time the huge but codified world of plane photography to take off toward the still partially unexplored planet of the digital creativity, you operate to your own images and makes them more real in their relative unreality.
This factory is a kind of icon by now, seen through your wide layers of colours, textures and thoughts.

Love the 30's mood. Smoke adds the final touch, Steve.

I think I would go further and state late
Victorian Industrialism. The low angle seems
to suggest that it's been viewed by a child and
the stark contrast which you have given between
the belching smoke stack and the sky adds to the
industrial feel. Excellent treatment and photography
once again. +V

Great composition. I must agree with 'Andrew' and the 1920's feel to it. Just a great piece of work. V!

When I liver near a beet factory,
the aromas where anything but exotic :0

but a superb capture none the less
reminds me of some of the industrial paintings of the 30's

I just imagined how beautiful that scent could be, and then I read your conclusion :)
Still I love how you have described it and surely a great addition to your master series, Steve.

I like it too, Steve. It has a 1920-ish feeling to it. Interesting treatment to the sky as it has an almost crackling paper feel about it. Unsure just what to make of the dot-like particles up there but my mind has convinced me that they could easily be sparks emitted from the stack.
More than anything I think it's the "circa" feel that attracts me to this Candy factory maybe but it still speaks dirty industrial belch too. Not a bad thing per se. Just trying to put to words what I see.
Interesting and thought provoking. Certainly caught these eyes. Well done!

An industrial type scene but not quite. I like the treatment very much.
