Post 13

Like the previous image, this photo is of the site of the mill silhouetted against a late afternoon/early evening sky towards the end of winter, except that this time, the camera is focused purely on the cooling tower, rather than on the whole site.

Also, like the previous image, many features of the previous photograph are seen again here in this image. The silhouette of the cooling tower, for example, was seen in the previous photo. Also, this image, like the previous image, includes a weed or dry grass to suggest that the area that this cooling tower is in hasn't had any upkeep, probably since the mill closed.

The framing of the image is done in such a way as to keep the viewer's attention on the cooling tower and its silhouetted effect, while still managing to give a good idea of the surroundings. I think (although I personally can't see this part of the photo very clearly) that there is a new housing estate to the bottom left of the image, with some smaller dilapidated buildings on the right, suggesting that this cooling tower is located in an are of redevelopment or "regeneration". This gives a sense of place, which can be essential to the viewer to provide a background to this image in their mind, and also probably to help them appreciate the photograph. The sky in the background gives a sense of time, although some might say the image was taken at dawn, most would definetly say it was photographed at sunset and the weed gives a sense of the type of surroundings which the cooling tower is in.

Extra objects seen around the edge of the cooling tower, while also providing some more interest to the casual viewer are essential to give the photo a sense of place and time and to add other things like to suggest that the area is dilapidated but undergoing redevelopment
