Refinery

I've been continuing to work on the refinery project these past few months, and am almost done with the stills, (the concrete structures on the south side of the property). I have been photographing and documenting all around the site, but have been focusing most of my attention on the southern end of the property including up to the fence line that borders the site. It is interesting to note that there has been recent graffiti added to the stills, since the LRCD has put up their fence, no less. I've included two images of the recent vandalism. However, I'll start with an interesting image that I shot in late July.

The layers of concrete are crumbling, and some of the graffiti is disappearing as a result
