Normally refineries are very noisy, with pumps, compressors, boilers, valves emitting large quantities of sound.
Today, our refinery was quiet.
The three of us, namely Matt, led the group up the oldest unit on site, "the cat cracker".
142 workers stood on the steel structure.
We took our photos. Lots of clicks.
Here's a bad photo of a print (sorry, it's the closest thing I've got right now).
And then, when we were done, some were slow to come back down.
It turns out that people were enjoying the moment. Some were deeply reflective. The unit had been running for 50 years. Now it will be scrapped.
What started out as a documentary exercise has proved to be much more.
