I can't really explain my fascination with the nearby refinery. Maybe it's an obsession. To me it is a visually stunning place. And I realize I may be in a minority. This photo was taken on a windy, clear night. If you look closely, you can see stars above the ConocoPhillips Wood River Refinery. Just like the people who live in this apartment building can right across the street. Shutter: 30 seconds; Aperture: f/16; ISO: 200; Focal length: 18 mm

You're not in a minority. More like a majority of one, to paraphrase Thoreau. But actually there are others. Having grown up in South Roxana, I've also seen (felt) the beauty of the refinery, especially at dusk or at night in the winter. Your skill as a photographer brings out this beauty but it has always been there -- hiding in plain sight. John Lynn, Edwardsville, Il.
