RE: UNESCO Word Heritage Site: Zollverein Coal Mine Industrial Complex: #03 - Coking Plant
Wow man! These pictures or off the frame 😊 the pipes and colors and lighting inside has a nice composition. Really inspires the mech feel and like time traveling to the past and imagining a future. "Vergänglichkeit". Would love to visit these ruins! They must have been cooking something out there :)
Tons and tons of german coke !! Hehe ^^ .. it is an amazing feeling walking down the old ovens there ;)
You, @m31 have something in common. I love visiting old ruins possibly finding a spot to do a harmonious painting. I visited many places i could never paint at because they are too beautiful and unique. Liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz.

Oho, Schweiz !! .. dann ist das Ruhrgebiet mit seiner Industrie Kultur gar nicht so weit ;) .. zum Malen findest man hier genügend friedliche und ruhige Orte die Industrie, Kultur und Natur perfekt mischen ^^
'german coke' ?.. not sure I got the idea... you dont mean 'cocain' here, dont you?..
Hehe .. I try to explain it for you @qwerrie ^^ .. Coke is a grey, hard, and highly porous stone. It posesses a really hight content of carbon and has no impurities any longer, so it is a form of super ultra pure energetic carbon. Basicly it is yielded by a destilation process, in which pure coal is heated up to 1500 °C in the absence of air. The remains from former coal in this process are coke, which is an important industrial product in iron ore smelting ... the gases formed from former coal this way can de seperated itself to yield products for the chemical industry.
This was a very important prozess and coke was used in the german steel procuding industry. The whole Ruhr area here in germany is famous for their coal mines and coking plants as well as their steel productions.. they also call this area the "Kohlenpott" / Coal-pot or often just "Ruhrpott" for this reason .. people there are very proud of living in the Ruhrpott, its their cultural identification, even with their own language ^^
If it was real cocain produced in this masses, the Ruhrpott surely would became the home of the worlds greatest and efficient drug lords, hehe ^^ .. this overload on cocaine maybe would have explained their world famous lack of humor and the agressive two world wars, lol ;)
aaa, google to blame! in Russian this word sounds like 'koks', now I get you, thx a lot!.. preparing my w-walk post right now... it would be a huge, AND INDUSTRIAL, like your likes )))))
