This panoramic image offers a sweeping view of the Thyssenkrupp steelworks in Duisburg, stretching along the Rhine River at the heart of the Ruhr industrial zone. The photograph was created from multiple drone exposures, stitched together to reveal the immense scale of the factory complex. Countless pipes, chimneys, and processing halls dominate the horizon, while the broad curve of the Rhine adds a sense of movement and openness to the composition. The soft haze typical of industrial areas filters the sunlight, giving the scene a subdued tone that enhances its authenticity. My goal with this image was to show how vast and structured industrial landscapes can be — functional, rhythmic, yet strangely beautiful when viewed from above. The panorama illustrates how human engineering reshapes geography and defines modern economies. Despite the heavy atmosphere, the balance between the industrial sprawl and the surrounding greenery hints at coexistence, making the image both documentary and contemplative in nature.
