  4. I think this is beautiful, James. Is it naturally monochrome or did you make it so?

  7. Looks rather depressive, although the reflections are very nice !

  8. Strangely, the reflection seems to erase the building and to only keep the beauty hidden in the scenery..

  9. Terrific depth of field in your photos, James... so clear. And yeah, the reflection is a bonus!

    James, can delete my entry #37? Something went wrong with it... When you click the link, 'blog not find' is shown.
    Thank you and sorry for the inconvenience.

  29. Wise choice on B&W here, James...

    ReplyDelete
  30. Those places have such powerful spirits in them. I can hear the cussing and the joking through the silence and the years when I'm in such a place.

    ReplyDelete
  31. What an interesting composition! I like it in b/w, and a great reflection to boot!

    ReplyDelete
  32. Hi James

    ReplyDelete
  34. Superb B&W photo!
    have a nice weekend:)

    ReplyDelete
  35. A real beauty - it jumped out at me and said Wow! when I opened your site just now. Bravo!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Hey James, looks like a great place... is it near Newtown ??? The conveyor going up to the top floor on this one is fairly short and quite steep. While I was in PA in September I found another site sort of like this but much bigger. The coal conveyor structure to the 11th floor was many times longer and ran at less steep angle... I went all the way up the old conveyor to the top of the building, then came down through the inside... an adventure ! All above comments are entirely justified, this is gorgeous in b&w...

    ReplyDelete
  37. Yes, this is great in b/w. It provides a wonderful reflective moment!

    ReplyDelete
  38. An impressive mean to measure current life and time for many factories indeed.

    May they last longer than a puddle after melting away. Please have a good start of the weekend.

  41. Hi James, Fabulous photo. Great composition.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Love this, James. It's such a great shot, and the wonderful reflection is a bonus.

  49. Very nice, James - and this is one of those photos that demands b&w vs color.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Good choice of black & white, I think. I have a river reflection too today but in colour - well, as much colour as winter allows...

    ReplyDelete
  51. This meme attracts some very talented participants. Amazing how knowing you need a "reflection" keeps our brains on high alert. Well worth the drive back for this shot!

    Your latest series is just particularly austere and beautiful.

  55. What a terrific B&W, James! Of course, all your shots are terrific so I just repeat myself, but I do love this reflection and the B&W is perfect for the mood! Thanks, as always, for the weekend fun! Enjoy yours!

  56. Great reflections is only one thing this photo has going for it. Wonderfully done!

    And thank you for hosting. I love this meme!

    ReplyDelete
  57. I love your black & white series! Especially this one. Great reflection :-)

    Happy weekend!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Beautiful b&w & that looks like a reflection on glass... great find!

    I've had my WR pics up since yesterday & forgot to link up on your blog... I'm silly like that! =)

    ReplyDelete
  59. I'm with everyone else. I love this shot and the choice of black and white suits the subject and mood beautifully. It's great you have such a wide appreciation for photographic subject matter. The mental and physical sense of movement through time and space always speaks to me through your work.

    ReplyDelete
  60. James, love the angles and the gritty, ageless study in black and white. The soft reflections of the bare tree is a great contrast to the hard textures of the concrete, steel, and gravel.

    Thanks for hosting the reflections...

    Bises,

  63. There is something appealing about old sites like this; a history hiding in the dust and cobwebs. Great shot.

  64. Although it was not entered in Weekend Reflections, perhaps because the author may not know about Weekend Reflections (yet!) there is a simply awesome reflection photo from Rome here :

    Maybe if enough of you drop by over there to see it, he will realize where the spike in visits is coming from... here at James fine meeting place !

  65. Belle photo en noir et blanc, joli reflet. Beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  66. I love that old building, James, and what a setting! I remember seeing one in Oregon, maybe a year ago, but for some reason we didn't stop. Beautiful balance with the reflection.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Very beautiful - and the water seems to have lost its fluidity.

    Fascinating photo.
