Do u realize how valuable this shot is?! This factory does no longer exist but on ur film!!! How cool is that!! I've noticed from ur serie so far that there's not much green over there!! Trees, grass, parks! Everything looks so grey and depressive! Another fascinating shot and infos here!! Thx so much for that!
