The old Gun powder factory

During the WWII the Swedish governemnt decided to build secret plants in the forests of Dalarna and this is one of them. After have been supporting the Finish army who was fighting against the Soviet Army the gun powder storages where empty. They needed gunpowder fast and it was an hectic period for the people who worked there. They where civilians but had to keep their mouth shut of this plant and what they where doing. It was also risky business compleeting the process of gun powder who was aimed to be used for the Anti Aircraft Cannon made in Bofors. I could just imagine how it could have been transporting it through the bumpy roads through the forests. The plant was hidden and probably it always has been covered by the forest, it is hard to say but there are rumours they shot down every enemy plane that passed by. Mother nature is reclaiming its area slowly, even though it has passed almost seventy years the building still stand there. They where built fast and the quality is exceptional for that time period. I didn´t bring the flash to cover more of the interior but will do next time if I am passing by this area again.

Oh yes and the film I used was a colour negative that got processed in B&W chemicals by mistake and so that´s the reason why I didn´t write what film I used.
