Processing’s photo of the month for June is this nighttime view of the Daicel Corporation’s Aboshi plant in Himeji City, Japan. The plant manufactures acetic acid, cellulose acetate, and acetate tow. Himeji is in the heavily industrialized coastal region known as the Hanshin Industrial Area, where many chemical plants, steel mills, and semiconductor and electronics factories are located. The site was originally established in 1908 as the Nippon Celluloid Artificial Silk Co., Ltd.
The photo was taken by Tetsurou Kobayashi, a professional photographer in Japan who also teaches courses for the Nikon College Photography School and has published several books of photography.
