This is a perlite processing plant in Antonito, Colorado. Perlite mining and milling is the basis of the economy of Antonito. My husband is the manager of a perlite mine - not this one; these are his main competetors! The processing plant of his mine didn't look as industrial. It's a hard industry - the Greeks can mine perlite and sell it cheaper than it can be done in America as they can pay their workers lower wages and have their own ships to transport it here.

Ah, social commentary :)
I like the bold statement of the factory against the dark sky, and nicely composed.
