Exploring a Blast Furnace and Steel Works... Belgium - November 2014.

Greetings, here's another of Belgium's mighty Industrial abandonments that I've had a desire to thoroughly explore since we visited its bigger brother, HF6, in March this year 

Poor weather and pissing rain to start off meant that we trudged along the approaching railway lines a bit glum (and hungover from the night before) but on entering this wonderful, rusty, delicious zone our spirits lifted and we enjoyed an entire morning taking photographs and climbing up and down things. 

As usual, I took a lot of photographs, sorry but I can't help myself when presented with such a place... Just the right amount of dereliction, loads of stuff to look at and powerplant for good measure.

Up top (ish) It was really windy and I wasn't brave enough to climb the spiral staircase.
