Are the ceilings really slightly arched like that or is it the way that the picture was taken?

Yep the ceilings are arched, it's probably for supporting all that weight over such a large open area.

This one is definatly one of my favourite panoramas that you've done, even though picking a favourite is infamously hard to do.
*whistles in awe*
I can't get over the green accents (slime? mould? moss?) near the ceiling.
Totally amazing, for sure.

I think this is my favorite picture in this group. I love the slime running down the walls.

The work and attention to detail expended on industrial buildings in the 19th and early 20th centuries was nothing short of wonderful.

Somehow I can't imagine today's functional structures holding the same visual appeal a century from now. Corrugated iron and concrete blocks may be cheap but architectural beauty is priceless.

Even sadder, then, that so many of these buildings from the golden age of industry are now flattened without a second thought or a backward glance.

This picture is what all places should look like. In my town there are still old amazing buildings like this but they redid the insides and this makes me appreciate the ones they haven't ruined yet. Wow

I don't reveal locations with pseudonyms, but sure you can paint anything you'd like.

Stepping into this turbine hall not very long ago, i was in absolute awe of how massive it was. I don't think any picture can do it justice (although Mr. Motts's comes very close!), it's just something you have to see in person...
