Coke furnace

Original - Hanna furnaces of the Great Lakes Steel Corporation, Detroit, Mich. Coal tower atop coke ovens. November, 1942.
Reason
There's nothing like the tones of old Kodachrome. An encyclopedic depiction of heavy industry, and wow.

  • Oppose because for the life of me I can't tell what I'm looking at-- is this an aperture in the furnace? How big is it? Pretty, but not encyclopedic. Spikebrennan (talk) 15:12, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per above, and everything is slightly out of focus at full res. Clegs (talk) 17:39, 12 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
