The Crucible

liquid copper

If you look closely you'll see a small orange glowing spot of light near the middle of the shot. That is a pot containing 99% pure liquid copper emptying its contents into moulds for being formed into ingots. The other glowing spots are mercury lamps. This is where all the flash stuff happens, and the pure stuff comes out. You can see grey blocks on the back of a truck on the right, copper anode they call it, hanging like clothes on a line. With some help I'll be able to get a much closer shot to post for you soon so you can really see what it looks like. Don't ask how I'm making this happen.
