The picture above is what remains of a once robust foundry. I showed other areas of this foundry in my previous posts. The circular area pictured is where the metal was melted and forged. Given the proximity to water, a pier, and the railroad (in the background), it’s no wonder the company chose this spot for their foundry. I’m sure that at one point this foundry was one of the biggest employers in the city. Now, I doubt anyone even knows the company’s name. I think it’s important to keep remnants of the past on display. Not only can they be turned into parks, but are also a reminder of an area’s past.

The Stone Man
I took this picture at the foundry I mentioned in one of my previous posts. It wasn’t until I looked at this area of the ruins from a different angle that I saw a “man” kneeling inside the foundation. I think it’s amazing how inanimate objects can look like people or animals. The key is to photograph something at the right angle. If you’re taking a picture, try walking around the object first (if possible). Capturing an image at different angles can transform both a photo and the objects it captures.
