Site visit

the smoke2as

panorama1asThese are my favourite images showing my site I visited last week. I selected them as I particularly like the smoke coming from the power plants behind the forest. The former coal mine buildings look absolutely amazing with such background. Generally industrial landscape is very common in Silesia and Jaworzno is one of these cities where almost every inhabitant is somehow connected with mining.

  1. Came across this on Flickr which may be of interest:

    see http://www.flickr.com/photos/strangeharvest/4325479501/
    for some photos on the site. Seems to be more of an indoor ‘museum’ experience compared to the Duisberg scheme I mentioned in the last crit which is as a landscaped park:

  2. ps: Very evocative photos.

  3. Magna is a conversion of a steel mill in a ’science adventure centre’ scheme by Wilkinson Eyre. Just outside Rotherham off the M1 motorway:
