Focus on life: Industrial Photography!

Making Art From Industry.


Sally Russick's prompt for this week was Industrial Photography. While out on a mission to drop my daughter off at work and pick up a few groceries, I visited a small industrial area near her workplace.

To introduce our topic Sally Says : "It is amazing how something perceived as cold and [its] purpose is to perform a function can have a beautiful soul."

Not sure that I have found any beautiful souls but here is an assortment of sights from our nearby industry. I played with them a little to enhance their features. 

 First a little introduction:
We have an Industrial Drive, but precious little industry is on that road. 
Some artsy play with industrial scenery: 

Just a little "retouching" with this one. 

Using PicMonkey's "Warhol" effect. 
Everybody seems to remember to display the flag. The rest of this picture turned out more interesting for me in pixilated shapes.

Kind of looks like sand castles.

 A row of imposing cement trucks.
Ready for tomorrow's job.

    Haha - I LOVE the street sign - very good! Especially with the crossroads and Fortune and East. I agree they do find quite interesting areas to display the flag. Good post!

    There must be s street named Industrial Road (or Drive, Avenue, Parkway, etc.) in every single town. Mine is no exception.

    I'd never venture outside if I had this amazing environment to look at! Just stunning and beautiful craftsmanship! Though, I love both outdoor and indoor pics.
