Copsa Mica, May 26, 2008

There is a lot of iron in the grounds of the demolished carbosin plant. People dig for it - with a spade, their bare hands, a machine - hoping to earn some money.

In a comment RenƩ Wouters was wondering about the dimensions of the carbosin plant I photographed from so many points of view. Well, I think these two photos give an answer.



When approaching Copsa Mica by train, this huge decaying plant is the first impression one gets of this small town where the skelletons of former factories dominate the landscape.
