Remains of the Ferranti Blast Furnace - B&W version
Black and white version …
Lithgow Blast Furnace (just west of the Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia) ... a site which is now the only remaining relic of Australia’s iron-making history. Walls are barely standing – these structures are a sad shell of what they were. The Furnace was established in 1886 by William Sandford, and it continued production until 1928 when the entire industry was moved to Port Kembla on the South Coast.
Geek info: Handheld, shutter priority, f/8, ISO 160, WB cloudy, Metering centre weighted. Photomatix HDR from a single jpeg (1/3 EV) and tweaked in CS3.

Looks good Rosalie.. I like the colored version the best, but that is just me… The b/w is very nice with great contrast.
Rosalie Dale IPA replied
I’m always torn – each has its points! Keld had some good words on B&W relating to catching character and essence rather than just representing what is there … quite profound!
