A Word A Week Challenge – Industrial
Once a week I dip into my Old English Dictionary and pick a word that the page falls open on. The challenge is to post a blog on what that word means to you. Most people take a photograph but if you want to write a short story or poem we welcome any genre. Please link back to this post in your blog so others can follow the thread and take part or read other entries. If you would like to take part on a regular basis hit the follow key and an email will be sent out to you each week with the new word of the week. I like to share your entries with the wider community so if you would like me to do this add the tag ‘A Word A Week Photo Challenge’ to your tags section and I will reblogg a few entries each week.
A little more challenging this week. Building sites, cranes, modern cities, factories, industry. What does industrial mean to you?

A great challenge–I will sieve through my albums.
These are great! I work in a manufacturing industry that has seen better days. I’m not bitter about it though as so many of my colleagues are. Industries and professions come and go. Innovation is key. So “quit whining”, I say, “and innovate! We need jobs!!”
These are beautiful photos. I’ve been to to Launceton, but I hadn’t seen these places. I do like old mines and machinery and took photos at the Beaconsfield Mine & Heritage Centre near Launceton. Thanks for posting these photos.
Here’s ignorant for you… did not know that Tasmania had cities that large.
stunning captured images! my entry please: http://alwaysbobswife.wordpress.com/2013/02/18/a-word-a-week-industrial/

Great set of photos! Here is my contribution for this week’s “industrial” photo challenge. http://schelleycassidy.wordpress.com/2013/02/17/a-word-a-week-photo-challenge-industrial/
I can only offer a photo of women in a small village in Mali. This is not big industry, but dying and washing fabrics is big business in African villages.

Hi Sue, loved the photos of industry you brought back from Tassie. Here’s some of mine from WA of the mining boom area.

You are so original. It takes a special person to see the beauty in “ugly”. Industrial is not what I think of when I think of a pretty shot…nice post!

This is my tale of an industry of sorts.

You’ve got some of my favorite industrial photographs in your post: bridge, mill, train and architecture. You mention we can use photos from our archives. I hope it’s okay to use my post from last year on industrial photography..with my iphotos.

I was impressed with the industrial design of the new international airport at Bangkok—and with how they keep the windows clean: http://carondann.com/2013/02/19/industrial-ballet/

Thanks for a great word. I have enough pictures to post with a slight variation on the theme for the next 3 or 4 days. Today I focused on old industrial sites that have been restored and are now used by the public.
Great subject _ Here is my post

From one of my favourite cities, a tribute to its magnificent past as one of the largest .thriving ports in Europe. Perhaps more a tribute to industry than industrial itself.

Sue, I don’t equate ‘industrial’ with ‘appealing to the eye’ but your images have proved otherwise. Well done. Here are mine: http://rainbowbakery.wordpress.com/2013/02/24/a-word-a-week-challenge-industrial/
