About the Image(s)
I do not know if this image is qualified as a landscape photography. This is more in Industrial Photography. This is a ‘highly restricted areas’ in Nikel mining industries. Only authorized persons can be there, especially during dawn. I got special permit from the COO (Chief Operating Operation) of the company. I was their safety consultant and need those pictures for business safety purposes. There were group of workers escorted me with their Portable Work Lights. This was really once in a life time photo hunting occasion. I took several shots and composite them to make it more dramatic more presentable. Your comments and suggestions are welcome.

Wow....Very nicely done. Despite the brightness of the liquid nickel, you were able to keep a very nice and colorful cloudy sky.
Very well done - No suggestion for improvement. Posted: 12/10/2025 21:00:27
