Polichoros Lipasmaton / Multi - Space of Fertilizer Plant

This is my favourite park which is situated 10 minutes away by car, from my home.
It was a deserted area where an industrial facility was hosted in the past. The fertilizer plant. It used to occupy lots of local people who worked there until 2 decades ago. It was also polluting the area but it was shut down.
After the end of 1990's and later when it stopped working the gipsies started to smuggle into the area and remove the Iron from the building for sale. The result is that after to decades the factory is in very bad condition like it is standing for more than 50 years....
4 years ago the local administration (Municipality) and after courts manage to 'take' the whole area and make it a park for the people.
Since then it has been through many nice changes and now it is full of people. In summer it is very popular and people come from many areas. It is such a huge area that is always spacious and a great place to relax.
The past 4 years I visit it systematically and I have photographed it through its changes and seasons. I have a very big archive which I sometime, must categorize it.
It has been for me an extremely valuable location in which I have the chance to photograph when I cannot travel for any reason and it has also been a great place for photographic practice and experimentation.

And here is a today's photo.

Such a beautiful place panos_adgr . I thought that's somewhere in the forest. It's good to hear that has been taken care and cleaned. People nowadays don't pay to much attention to environment .

Edit: I've copied and put the EXIF on the right section

And for the sake of my description and information above I will post one photo of the abandoned fertilizer plant.

Thank you Jack. I will do it this way from now on.

Yes fortunately we have an excellent mayor and the people who work in the park they take care of it!

I will post a photo of the Fertilizer Plant in a while.

I love the rocks in the first photo, they are a perfect foreground for the rest of scene, beautiful skies and the ships in the horizon are a nice touch. Great story about the park, its a pleasing change seeing a community cleaning up an area, we all need more of that nowdays. Thanks for sharing!!

I love the first photo on this post. The sky looks on fire, while the second picture is more calmly.

Thanks Jack

The 2nd and 3rd are more indicative to show you the place.

Yes we are lucky. Our Mayor serves his second election for another 4 years. He has done many great things for our district. I hope he can serve a 3rd one...
