The roof appeared to be constructed with corrugated metal sheets, wood framing, and some leftovers from the different rooms that were there. It’s a patchwork and creates that zigzag on the roof above the area where the logs are cut before sliding down the chute.
There was dirt and mud everywhere. It was winter and very cold. The mud was frozen, but still some green trees around.
It’s an unnatural sky. Cold, thin. All the whites are blue and green.
Peaks of the two triangular roofs fill out the facility. It’s a ramshackle dense little urban town square type space, all brown, and rough, generating endless small shaded crannies.
Two pillars (stacks?) stick out. I assume they serve a functional purpose.
