Pump Tanks, Greenpoint
The Terminal Market Warehouse along the East River is demolished after a massive fire which threatened to destroy a large section of Greenpoint. The contents of the warehouse at time of destruction, and the nature of contaminants released by the fire was unknown. From a series on land use in North Brooklyn and the proximity of sources of industrial contamination to residential areas. Colors are not manipulated, they are the result of several-hour exposures in various lighting/weather conditions.
In the Brooklyn Nights photo essay.

This whole series is fantastic. In this image, I really like how the long cylindrical tank things almost look like a robot hand, crushing the building.
