Zurich - Pentax 21mm DA limited

Another picture from the old industry quarter in Zurich, now the new trendy quarter. I'd guess this old factory is now workshops or studios, although I'm not sure. I'm sure this is a trend familiar from cities across the world.

You should check; maybe they still make paper? In such case it must be very expensive paper. Today's paper machines are hundreds of meters long.

A big ex-paper mill in Finland, built in the 50's, was recently bought by Google. What kind of space they must need, even when everything is is miniature.

..and as we know, some of the finest old traditional "hand made" paper making still continues in England in the original buildings for very special purposes; and business is booming, I believe. Google? I wonder how many they employ in Finland? How the world has changed.
