Yes these are all starting to fade all over the place. We've got a GM plant fairly close... that so far is still going. When I was a kid you could drive to Milwaukee and it'd be all industrial almost all the way into near the lake. Now they've turned the factories into Condos. Same here on a smaller scale...There's even been talk of moving Oscar Mayers out and it originated here. Rayovac originated here, but it was cheaper to make the batteries somewhere else...so they laid everyone off and moved out. I guess the US is going to McDonalds, Walmarts, and medical and oil company facilites. I just wonder where the money is going to come from for international trade and repayment when we don't seem to have much durable goods to sell? Whoaa I'm getting "heavy" here. Thanks Leslie and Tom.

All these type plants are gone from here now, along with farms too. I hadn't thought about seeing something like it for a long time. Funny how things seem to just slip away once areas start growing so fast. Now it's Ford & Chevy talking more shut downs in Atlanta. Guess we'll only be left with McD's, and Burger Kings in the end. Good look to the old shot, Barri. You've done great converting them over to digital.

good sharp image with a simple industrial composition...light and colors are good, sky is beautiful and the reflection just finishes it well
