I was caught
in the middle of a railroad track
I looked 'round
and knew there was no turning back
(AC/DC)
Through the mansions of fear,
through the mansions of pain
I see my daddy walking through
them factory gates in the rain
(Bruce Springsteen)
Bethlehem Steel.
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
Polaroid. 2007.
The Bethlehem Steel Corporation shut down production in 2003.
At the moment, I'm reading "American Rust", the literary debut of Philipp Meyer. The novel is set in a Pennsylvania steel town whose description sounded a lot like the memories I have of driving through Bethlehem.

Apart from my fondness for industrial landscapes, I have a passion for cabins, too. Here's an inspirational series of pictures.
Goodnight!
