I think out of all the photos the ones of fields of chimneys are the most powerful to me.

Thats one thing that got me too. The sheer size of the place was something I didn't realize until seeing it first hand. I guess at one point they had upwards of 150,000 people crammed into the camp. The really scary thing is that plans were underway for an expansion. Construction was already started on water collection towers for the expansion before the Soviets arrived.

The phjotos help me visulaise the sheer scale of the place. Well done, EB

Thank you very much EB.
It seems a wrong word to use, but beautifully shot photographs.
Never having visited that's one of the clearest series of picture I've seen.

Cheers,
Adam.
