One thing that made the Eagle Mine unique is the underground mill, left of this picture. As the rocks moved down the mill, they would be turned into finer and finer powder.

The meticulously tiled dry house shower floor–cracked by frost.

Looking out of the boarded windows in the Great Western Sugar office.

One thing that struck me as a midwesterner in the South was the vines. They seem to be able to completely cover a building when left alone for a few decades.

Four A.M. was the best time to be on the main assembly line. This was about shortly after most of the machinery was removed.

Trees between duplexes overshadow the buildings they were planted to shield; revenge for the boards on the windows.

These copulas made the iron for casting.

A huge steam pipe snakes between catwalks, through the floors, and toward the condensers, so the water could be recovered and reused.

Energy conserving window plastic does no good when the doors are all open and the heat’s off.
