TITLE: A TRIBUTE TO INDUSTRY

Although I grew up in the swabian Albs, the so called "Ruhrgebiet" has alwasy been my second home, due to my grandparents living there. I was always impressed by the mines and huge factories made of brickstone since it's such a contrast to the green fields and hills down in the South of Germany.
While I was shooting an Oldtimer-Series for my photodesign degree, I couldn't resist the temptation of the beautiful location itself. A tribute to Zeche Zollverein!
