During a conversation with a fellow explorer we  came to the conclusion that I have been able to visit some beautiful steelworks ... In the neighboring countries! Having this playground of rust and steel in my backyard and even went there, was quite embarrassing... . A bit later a date was set and another  week later I stood on the blast furnace, enjoying the sun and the view. Wow! I immediately understand why the great love for industry begins here for so many explorers.  And admit, there are worse places and views to eat your sandwiches.   After our picnic and the conclusion that my fellow explorers was severely sunburned, we went back and went to discover the beautiful places that this place has to offer , bumping into the resident copper-thieves here and there, but they didn't seem to feel bothered by our presence.

1. the road up to the blast furnace. I love it that you can spot 'her'while you're gradually approaching. Also, active trains running by from the right hand side  make it a surreal experience

Some amazing shots there and a few bits that I never saw when I visited. What camera do you shoot with?

Nice Pictures, I love those rustic industry places! :)
We're going there on Sunday, but I heard they tightened the security some months ago. Anybody who was there lately or can tell something about that?
