Snap of the day

Not from Bing on this occasion, although I continue to take a look there from time to rather from Canada, via the NYRB.

The work of a Canadian photographer called Edward Burtynsky. The place being Youngor Textiles, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China. The time being 2005.

A far cry from the satanic mills of Manchester and Lowry, which places like this have presumably replaced.

PS: with Burtynsky being generous with his work, with this one anyway, it being available to download from his website. Just 375Mb or so; perhaps you have to pay if you want museum quality.
