I Monessen ligger et koksværk. Industrielle miljøer er jo
også interessante at fotografere, men ved sidste besøg
konstaterede jeg at værket i Monessen ikke var fotogent fra
gaderne i nærheden. Men på bakken bag "Downtown" er der en
lille park, trapper og et par huller i træerne, så det var
jo et passende sted at indtage frokosten.
Her er den karakteristiske damp fra "quenching" (jeg kender
desværre ikke et dansk ord for det), hvor de glødende koks
køles med vand efter "bagning".

In Monessen is a
coke plant. Industrial environments make for good photography, but on
my last visit I came up empty handed when trying to find photogenic
spots in the nearby streets. But on the hill behind "Downtown" is a
little park with stairs and a few holes in the treeline, so that was a
good place to eat lunch.
Here's the characteristic steam from "quenching", the operation where
the glowing coke after baking is cooled with water.
