Sloss Furnaces National Historic Landmark.

A short drive from Atlanta, in Birmingham, AL, sits the historical Sloss Furnaces.  In 1881 construction began on the Sloss Furnaces which produced iron for 89 years from 1882 until 1971. It was officially designated a National Historic Landmark in 1981.  The sight is rich in history and now serves as a monument to Birmingham's steel production.  Currently, Sloss offers educational tours and serves as a venue for events.

Sloss is an exciting environment for photography as seen in the images below, offering extraordinary views that incorporate rich hues, and a multitude of compositional elements.











The site is fascinating and well worth the trip.  Follow this link for more information about Sloss Furnaces: http://www.slossfurnaces.com/, and while you are clicking on links, I invite you to visit my web site to view more of my work:  http://www.georgeaubreyphotography.com/.

Enjoy the day,
