Until 1985, this place has been an active steel mill which produced raw iron for nearby steel productions sites. It was closed and meant to be torn down in 1985. When the citizens of Duisburg intervened, the site and its various buildings were kept intact and reused for cultural and recreational purposes. It has become a go-to photo location for me which offers a plethora of photo opportunities. Despite looking derelict and quite lost-place like, this place never gets old.
This post contains a series of photographs from the Landschaftspark Duisburg Nord in Germany.
This post features some thoughts on how lenses influence the way we look for images and subjects along with 20 new photographs from the LaPaDu.
I regularly go to the Landscape Park Duisburg-Nord in Germany (aka LaPaDu). With its unique combination of decayed industry set within a beautiful park with lush nature and numerous leisure-time possibilities, it truly is a unique location. In this post, I share three new additions to my LaPaDu gallery.
