Psychedelic (Photo Challenge)

WTF did I think suggesting this topic!? Well, um, nothing I guess. So I wonder what Ree and Lisa will post.

Psychedlic - colors, very strong colors, unusual views...

 

 

This one is an old furnace in my hometown Duisburg. This steel mill doesn't exist any more, but is an extended museum today. The former engine halls are used for parties and festivals and in front of the furnaces there is open air cinema during summer. The furnaces are illuminated at night and I think they look really beautiful. OK, I'm crazy, because I love steel mills and furnaces in particular.

When I was a little child I could overlook the entire area of the big steel mill Thyssen along the Rhine from the window of my room under the roof of our house. I loved to stand there every night looking at the lights and the fire of the steel mill. It was like fireworks. I was mesmerized by this colorful view. I never had a more beautiful outlook again after we moved. I loved the Ruhr Valley, I loved Duisburg and I was very, very sad when my parents moved away into a small town north of Duisburg because of better air there.

 

 

 

 And this is a fountain in the center of the town, which can also be described as psychedelic. I love it.

What a neat way to repurpose an old steel mill! Ours had its fair share of psychedelic scenes when all of it was up and running, with all the flaming gas vents and lights in every color everywhere.
That's a very interesting fountain. Is that artwork glass?

This is what I tried to describe and what I saw from my window when I was a kid. I loved the fire and lights. It's all gone now. There are only few furnaces now and you don't see any lights or fire. But illuminating them is a good idea. I love it and I'm sad that I don't have my room any more to look at it every night. I'm about 300 kilometers away now.

I don't know of whichmaterial the fountain is made. It's no glass. It's painted on some white material. Maybe it's fiberglass.
