Every Sunday for a year and a half, starting in October 1997, a group of Pittsburgh metal artists sneaked into the abandoned Carrie Furnace site, along with their tools and equipment. They used materials found on site to create a 45' tall deer head. The group - Industrial Arts Collective - is currently working on a large scale sculpture on the former Jones and Laughlin and LTV mill sites, on the South Side of Pittsburgh.

The volcano Nevado de Toluca is the 4th highest elevation in Mexico (4690m). It is located in the Valley of the City of Toluca, the capital of the State of Mexico, hence its name. The Valley of Toluca includes several municipalities, including Ocoyoacac, where most of the foreground of the picture is found. The part of the valley shown in the picture used to be a huge marsh, but it has been drained over several centuries, and now there are only 3 small marshes left (the marsh of San Pedro Tultepec is shown in the picture) and are now considered a Flora and Fauna Refuge. As the marshes dried up, the activities of the local people which included fishing, collecting of edibe aquatic plants and confection of crafts made with the reeds, changed. The people of San Pedro Tultepec learned to build wooden furniture, wich is the main actitity in the town today, and the people from other villages in he margins of the former marsh, started working in the expanding insdustrial corridor Toluca-Lerma, many of its factories can bee seen in the picture. The industry also atracted many people and the very productive lands (among the most productive in Mexico) are being urbanized. For this pano I used cylindrical projection and made it lighter for derker monitors (the previous version of this pano looked well in my callibrated monitor, but dark in the non callibrated most monitors at my office). |

The Barrow plant from the north east. The tree to the left is where the 'welcome to sebastopol' sign is - with the 'nuclear free' statement, and our sister cities. This is the prime area which would be likely redeveloped into (up to) 4 story shops offices and live work spaces. |

The Sebastopol Ready Mix plant from the North West.
Relatively small field of view. 56 images shot at a 35mm equivalent 395mm zoom. This is the 'cement plant across the street' which critics of the Northeast plan point to when arguing that no one would want to live in the Northeast plan area. |
