Factory
Found from the vaults. Picture taken in 2016.

Great deal of photography is about exclusion. It is a magic of leaving things out from the picture, things the person who views the image does not necessary know about.

If you haven't ever visited Tampere Finland, and seen this building, you can not know what is around this view. You can't know how tall the building is, if it continues far to the left or right, or what is below. But you can use your imagination!

So, the picture is like a fictional book. You can complete the story with everything you have experienced before. Fill in the empty spaces not told. Build the rest with your dreams and nightmares. See the chimneys that reach the sky. Smell the smoke and hear the sounds of machines.

Merci, Sylvain =)

Something like that. I for example like to make crops where tall buildings looks even taller and bigger than they really are:

Paper mill! In my experience, a paper mill smells hellishly horrible! Is there some Finnish magic to having it in the middle of a city?

Surprisingly it does not smell. And I don't know why. They produce there some very special and quality paper, and they import the ready made cellulose from somewhere else. Maybe that is the reason why the factory does not smell.

Only the kraft paper factories smell hydrogen sulfide, but not only :-))

The imported pulp used at this factory is Bleached Chemi-ThermoMechanical Pulp (BCTMP). Maybe that also explains the lack of smell.

But yes, I remember the awful smell of kraft paper factory from my childhood, when I lived in town of Rauma on west coast. One got used to it, but when coming home from some long vacation trip, the smell was terrible =/
