I love the idea of using a colour filter and then manipulating the contrast to get the faux filter effect. Nice image really makes me wonder what it looked like in its heyday.
My favorite subject, nicely done. It was an afternoon shot, wasn’t it? Looks like it with the dark sky. Now I hope I can visit Greeley and see this one for myself.

Mike's Look at Life 
I like this a lot – it’s all the things I love to see in a photo: an old industrial building, corrugated metal, and a dark sky.
Where’s this building located?

Great shot Mike! Did you use a red filter? 🙂

I would if it was film but digitally I process it adding a color filter and manipulate the contrast some. Easy peasy.

And may well be haunted as it is abandoned. Thanks!

Very nice shot. And I love how the top of the stack(?) blends away into the sky. Kind of like the whole things is slowly dissolving from the top down.
