You see images of these stacks often. This one from the parking lot by the movie theatre. All that is left of the US Steel Homestead Works- a dozen smokeless stacks.
Former steel mill site now a shopping complex, restaurants and movie theatres.
Someone from out of town thought they had been built as sculpture – did not believe they were part of the industrial complex once there. Part of the confusion for him was that they were so nearly perfect. I wonder if they were extensively repaired or resurfaced? If so, then they are new-old.
I love this perspective. Our stinky stacks in Sharon put a lot of meals on the kitchen tables and sent many of us to college and a cleaner job market. God Bless our dads!
Stunning photo — beauty and history all wrapped up in light and memory!!!
That is a beautiful picture.
they look like baseball bats
I adore this photograph–quintessential Pittsburgh exhibiting the transition it has undergone.

Beautiful shot! You always seem to pull out the best of only a good picture!

Nice picture.
I love looking at these, especially from different angles.
