Weekend Reflection: Walker's Cement

The Walker's Concrete plant was posted earlier.  Here is another shot of the grounds.  I think the water is from a recent rain.  For more reflections, visit Weekend Reflections, a meme that always yields interesting photos.

Skywatch Friday: Lonestar Industries

Cold but sunny for several days.  Lonestar Industries in West Oakland is (or is it was?) a cement factory next to Walker's Concrete, which was posted last week.  Just off Mandela Parkway, this imposing structure seems to be an icon of our industrial past.  Not something I'd want in my immediate neighborhood, but the lost jobs it represents is sad to see.  For other skywatch photos from around the globe, visit Skywatch Friday.

Skywatch Friday: Walker's Concrete

Found on Peralta near Mandela Parkway a block from Monday's mermaid mural.  This uber-industrial  form is hard to ignore.  Looks like something out of Mad Max.  Can't tell if this plant is still in operation or not.  Visit Skywatch Friday for sky shots from around the world.
