I found this little scene inside the abandoned Carrie Furnace. I have no idea why this was sitting there, but I liked it.

Carrie Blast Furnace
I took this photo from inside the Carrie Blast Furnace a few years ago. It probably isn’t the prettiest photo in the world, but I loved this entire space which was one large mechanical wonder.

Carrie Furnace
I’ll keep it short tonight……. I took this photo a few years ago inside the abandoned Carrie Furnace. This was a former steel blast furnace located south of Pittsburgh.

Gears
What do you think of this photo? It’s one of those photos that I like but am not sure whether anyone else will like it or not.
This pile of gears was inside the main building at Carrie Furnace. I liked this perspective with all the gears going from the foreground to mid photo with the rest of the industrial building in the back ground. Anyway… thoughts on this?

Inside Carrie Furnace
Per my normal routine, I’ve been hopping around processing photos from different trips, photo walks, locations, dates, etc… Last weekend I was processing photos I took in 2016 from the Carrie Furnace. That’s when I found this beauty waiting to be viewed. This was inside the main building that supported the steel blast furnace.

Pittsburgh's Past
I’ve posted some photos from this spot, Carrie Furnace, in the past. We got private access to this site and spent a few hours photographing it from multiple angles (inside and out). I love the fact that they’re saving this for historical purposes. All other steel mill site around Pittsburgh area already gone.

Carrie Furnace
I need to get out and take some photos soon. I’m going through withdrawal and I don’t like it. I enjoy processing photos, but its not even close to the happiness I feel when I’m out exploring an area and trying to capture it’s beauty with my camera. The last photos I took were over a month ago….. so sad…
By the way, I took this photo at the Carrie Furnace south of Pittsburgh. This is part of the larger mechanical structure. I sort of liked this perspective.

Carrie Furnace
As you all know, I process photos by jumping around. I process a few photos from one location, then process a few from another location, then onto the next one, etc… I never process photos in a linear way…I just get bored to easily. So here is a photo I processed last night from a photo walk I did in 2016 at the Carrie Furnace south of Pittsburgh.

Industrial
Something different for you today. I realize it is a NFL Sunday and I should probably post a football photo. But the Steelers don’t play until late tonight. So instead I’m posting this industrial photo from the Carrie Furnace. This abandoned location is super cool.

Another Carrie Furnace Pic
Here is another photo from our Carrie Furnace photo walk. This is a really cool industrial location and the last remaining steel plant from the former Pittsburgh steel industry. It isn’t in use anymore, but it keep as a “museum”. Anyway, it’s fun to explore.

Carrie Furnace Structures
Today’s picture is from our photo walk at the Carrie Furnace. I’ve posted and written about this spot in the past. So I won’t waste your time with the background information again. I love the industrial structures and machinery.

Industrial Urbex
Today’s post is another photo from the Carrie Furnace outside of Pittsburgh. This former steel blast furnace help produce tons of steel per day, back when steel was actually made in Pittsburgh. I liked how this yellow handle seems untouched by the decay and years of abandonment.

Funky Tunnel
I didn’t know what to call this photo. I like it of course. It’s a little artsy, a little different and maybe a little weird. How would you describe it?
I took this inside the Carrie Furnace during our photo walk there with a group of friends. Click HERE to read more information on this site from one of my prior post.

Carrie Furnace Stack
Today a few of us rented the Carrie Furnace so we’d have the place to ourselves to get access to photograph this great place. It is the last remaining blast furnace left in the Pittsburgh area from the steel industry that has been gone for a long time. It was originally part of the Homestead Steel Works. It was built in 1884 and closed in 1982. Back in the day, it produced over 1,000 tons of iron per day that was sent across the hot metal bridge to another plant that turned it into steel. This photo is on the backside of the plant looking up at some of the metal structure.
