On a recent trip to Twin Harbors, Minnesota, I was fascinated by the large-scale, industrial operations that take place, almost unnoticed to locals every single day in the Great Lakes area. I wanted to try and capture these relics of modern industry and the size and scope of the equipment involved. Here are two photos from the iron ore loading facility based in Twin Harbors. I enjoy shooting at night due to the fact that it brings out a sense of ominous character to things that would otherwise seem pretty mundane during the daytime hours.
