This panoramic image captures the full expanse of the Tata Steel plant in IJmuiden, located on the Dutch North Sea coast. Shot during the late evening, the photograph combines the warm glow of sunset with the cool industrial lighting of the steelworks below. The scene shows an intricate web of pipelines, cranes, and furnaces stretching from the port area to the coastline, where wind turbines and ships mark the horizon. I was fascinated by the duality of this environment — heavy industry against the calm of the sea and sky. The drone perspective reveals how closely the factory is woven into the landscape, both geographically and symbolically, as a key part of the Netherlands’ industrial identity. The mix of artificial and natural light, smoke, and reflection creates an atmosphere that feels both powerful and contemplative. This work is part of a broader exploration of industrial architecture and the transformation of coastal environments under modern pressure.
