The industrial leftovers of communism in Romania

I thought I`d do something refreshing for this easter season, so I convinced a local blogger to go and explore the Chemical Plant in Giurgiu, Romania. This is Platform 1, soon I hope we will go visit Platform 2 of the Chemical Plant. It`s been a while since I`ve walked these paths, and the first time I actually had a trip especially for the blog, my first actual exploring if I may. It was quite fun, with all the "Collapse Danger" signs and biohazard areas, excellent way to spend a sunny day. I have to thank Alex again, for taking me on a lovely tour, I learned some things I didn`t know, a well documented guy he is. And this is his blog about Giurgiu.
Here is the first batch of photos, taken by me on a Samsung GT-S3350, a decent phone to take pics with, but it certainly doesn`t create art, and as a glitch that it has, some of the pics are very poor quality (made some of them at 320x240 without asking me).

Playing with a photo. You can only understand it if you already seen the original pic (which is somewhere in this post) or you can try using your imagination and tell me what you`ve got.

  1. Da... Interesanta descriere... Dar sti ce nu inteleg eu, de ce te plangi atat in legatura cu calitatea fotografiilor? La urma urmei sunt numai niste ruine ale unor cladiri abandomate si aproape daramate, care,e adevarat ca au reprezentat, in perioada comunista, un punct important al industriei orasului ( cu alte cuvinte ne-au pus pe harta Romaniei )dar, care azi nu mai au nici o valoare...
    Ca sa fac o paralela - in copilarie, era unul din locurile mele preferate de joaca; acum arata asa datorita minoritatii majoritare din oras care se ocupa cu magia. Drept urmare, si-au asumat raspunderea pentru disparitia cablurilor electrice de cupru si aluminiu, si o mare parte a caramizii peretilor, si fierului din armatura, aducand cladirile in stadiul actual.
