Nicolet Mill on Fox River, De Pere, Wisconsin

Nicolet Mill on Fox River, De Pere, Wisconsin

June 2019 — The Nicolet Mill complex in De Pere, Wisconsin, stands alongside the Fox River, a remnant of the region’s historic paper-making industry that once defined the economy of the Green Bay area. The long, brick mill structure—now operated by American Nippon Papers—dates back to the early 20th century, when Wisconsin’s waterways powered dozens of mills along the Fox River. Still active today, the facility reflects the enduring legacy of papermaking in the Midwest, blending vintage industrial architecture with modern manufacturing extensions visible on the river-facing side.

Royal Docks Cranes and Canary Wharf Skyline, London

Royal Docks Cranes and Canary Wharf Skyline, London

April 2019 — A line of preserved dockside cranes stands sentinel along the Royal Victoria Dock, a lasting symbol of London’s once-vast maritime trade. These iron giants were built in the mid-20th century to load and unload cargo ships during the docks’ industrial peak, when the Royal Docks complex handled millions of tons of goods from around the British Empire. Today, the cranes are carefully retained as part of the area’s regeneration, contrasting sharply with the modern glass towers of Canary Wharf and the O₂ Arena visible across the Thames. The Royal Docks have transitioned from working port to mixed-use district, now home to ExCeL London, residential developments, and the Emirates Air Line cable cars spanning the river. This juxtaposition of preserved machinery and new architecture reflects London’s ongoing evolution from industrial capital to global service and cultural hub.
