Description
Photograph of an exterior view of an unidentified oil refinery, showing spherical tanks, ca.1940. Rows of large, spherical tanks stand in a sandy yard in the refinery at center. Staircases wind around each of the spheres leading to the apparatuses that stand at their tops. The spheres are supported by thick, metal beams which attach to heptagonal platforms below. A road cuts through the bare field in the background which extends to the forest of thin, skeletal towers which can be seen in the distance.
