Industry and railway in the town of Jesenice
|
|
|
|
|
It was a very early start: at 6.40 am it was bitterly cold and foggy, and the dawn was just breaking.
|
|
The area where many plants used to be is mostly abandoned and decaying. This is an old chimney which is being pulled down before it crashes by itself.
|
|
Narrow passageway leading between two plants.
|
|
Unexpectedly, the fog was blown away just as the sun rose above the horizon.
|
|
Towards the east, the sun was trying to beat the fog.
|
|
Empty, abandoned storewares.
|
|
Railtracks for freight trains.
|
|
A magical moment at sunrise.
|
|
An old factory in all its glory.
|
|
Old scales and a sun-lit factory in the background.
|
|
The sun was getting stronger, fortunately, as my fingers were already on the verge of frostbite.
|
|
A detail from railtracks.
|
|
There was frost on everything...
|
|
... and even some frosty cobwebs.
|
|
Into the sun.
|
|
The same lonely alley.
|
|
Then I headed to the railway station. Most of the station dates many decades back, and it shows.
|
|
An attempt at B&W.
|
|
A confusion of tracks, poles and wires.
|
|
Rapid train... hehe, not really.
|
|
Entry into the pedestrian underpass.
|
|
In B&W.
|
|
Looking up from the underpass.
|
|
... and in B&W.
|
|
The old waiting room.
|
|
It looks better in B&W, I think.
|
|
An old radio in the railway station pub.
|
|
The radio in B&W.
|
|
An entry into another underpass.
|
|
Underpass for pedestrians and car traffic.
|
|
Having fun with long exposures.
|
|
Having fun with long exposures.
|
|
Having fun with long exposures.
|
|
Having fun with long exposures. Can you still tell this is a car? :)
|
|
An old railroad yard.
|
|
"No smoking"
|
|
An old storehouse barely standing.
|
|
No door.
|
|
A rusty pipe.
|
|
A rusty nut.
|
|
This is another part of Jesenice with abandoned factories.
|
|
Big, empty halls.
|
|
In B&W.
|
|
"Protect our common property from fire"
|
|
Old and rusty barrels covered in leaves.
|
|
Another big hall that is apparently still in use as there were some cars parked there.
|
|
A gear wheel up close.
|
|
A beer bottle covered in dust.
|
|
The ceiling.
|
|
Smashed windowpanes.
|
|
Rusty valves.
|
|
Rust.
|
|
Rust.
|
|
Rust.
