The Slaughterhouse

On the far northern plateau of Iceland, while walking through a field close to a set of imposing mountains and too close to an imposing storm, I came across this old slaughterhouse. It smelled of metallic blood as strange wind ripped around it before the rain came down.

This is from My Tutorial right here - I have over 16,500 unread emails (16,763 today) - sorry but I am too swamped - but most of you ask for that tutorial, so there it is! :)

O Trey, did you HAVE TO describe the smell of "metallic blood"?

Hey, if you removed the slaughter house, the photo would be amazing =]

even the word slaughterhouse gives me the creeps, especially being a vegetarian...... but the image is great, quite spooky, a horrible place set amongst gorgeous scenery with the imminent storm approaching. Superb !!

Metallic Blood... Did you go inside?? I assume out of use, nailed up and such.

I love when the aesthetics overpower its history.

Great greens and yellowed grasses.
