Painting and creating art will always be my first love, but a close second is photography. I have never posted any of my photos on my blog. I was looking for a good reference to paint and I came across one of my favorite pictures so I thought I would share it. This is the Pulp Mill in Saint John shot at night. i am still working on my 2 paintings and planning my next ones, I will post some progress soon! Have a great night 🙂
Thank you Lori, it is amazing after dark, it is a whole other world!
Wow! Who would have thought a pulp mill could look this good!?!!! I grew up in a mill town (Thunder Bay) and never thought of the mill as anything but 'progress', as my Grandfather put it. Such a great image!!
Thanks for stopping in Nick, I love night photography. I might get around to painting it some day
factories are great at night, I've photographed many…this would make a cool painting!
Thank you David and Mary 🙂
I love driving through St John on our annual trip to Nova Scotia. I really like the white smoke coming from the chimneys of this pulp mill. You actually get a distant glimpse of it way off to the right sometime before you actually get to St John.
Love it!!
Wonderful photo Krista!! Looks like an HDR.
Thank you very much; Dors, Gwen, Davida, Caio (My first love is painting also!), Carl (it is amazing what shows up sometimes),Anonymous, Kat, Lokelani, Glen, Sam and F.M (the pollution is the unfortunate part)
Helo Krista, very nice photo, despite the high air pollution these industrial themes are good subjects for artwork, I really like your latest work, congratulations.
As Gwen says you have made this scene beautiful.
Very nice Krista, I like the gray smoke in the sky.
It's amazing how something totally industrial and probably ugly can look so beautiful. Great capture.
very cool photo Krista, can't wait to see what you do with this subject, I'm sure it'll be a fun journey whatever you do…
Awesome picture Krista!!!
Wonderful! I love what the camera finds at night and in the dark corners when we leave the shutter ipen long enough to find these things.

This pretty gorgeous! There is an oil cracking plant in Joliet, IL right on the Des Plaines river that glows in a very similar way at night. I am always impressed by how beautiful it is at night.
For such an industrial spot and all that is connected to it…… you have captured Beauty…
Awesome photo Krista. I will be looking forward to seeing your painting of this.
