These stacks are part of the huge plastics complex in Pittsfield Mass. that GE just sold.
Whenever I drive past I hear Arthur "Cody" Jarrett's last words from "White Heat".
Very striking image! I like the composition -- those three inposing stacks juxtaposed with the greenery. And the sky is great! Helen

Thanks Martin. Same place (across the road) the flag & blue bimbo graffiti were taken though those walls are being torn down now. Weird that the largest US plastics manufacturer is now not a US company.

Good stuff JP, the post-processing is fantastic, the idea is clearly conveyed without needing to frame a wider part of the scene. I see you went for the 'thirds' thingie in this shot? ;)

Thanks for the comment, John. This is just a small part of a huge complex of plants & freight yards this facility comprises. I've taken many great graffiti pics here but would need equipment like Margaret Bouke-White used to get the real scope & dauntingness of the place.
The road into the main facility is called *Plastics Way*. I always meant to grab a shot of it but now that it belongs to a Saudi company so I don't know how much picture-taking by strangers they'll welcome.
