In a way it follows on from the previous shot; very industrial, slightly decaying but still retaining its form and purpose.

what a slow process, after an hour I just stopped watching... V

The designs even in peeling paint are so interesting. I see a seascape and hear the song Red Sails in the Sunset when I looked at this. Wonderful! \/
