This is a photograph from the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information Color Photographs Collection in the Library of Congress.
This 1940 photograph by Jack Delano gives us a detailed look at an industrial plant in Massachusetts. In the foreground, several cast-iron or ductile steel pipes extend from one brick building, turn at a ninety degree angle, and then enter another building also through a brick exterior wall. In the background, a tall cylindrical red-brick smokestack contrasts against a blue sky.
This photo was taken by Jack Delano, who was working as an agent of the United States government. Because this image was taken by an employee of the federal government, it is in the public domain.

Red-brick industrial plant is an amazing picture. The color of brick is saffron. The brick attained the redness through a process of heat. The heat was the output of fire from wood. That means, the brick was born from fire and the accumulation of the bricks constructed the chimney. The chimney emits the output of the fire! So, the brick possesses heat and shields heat from one side the other, but as a group activity, the brick emits heat to the sky. Here, the sky is colored blue. The Blue is the Color for infinity. The life of a monk (Sanyasi) symbolizes the brick. The monk shields the heat of the surroundings. The group activity makes the objective of the life of the monks. The group of Sanyasi crafts the Religion. Thus the industrial plant itself is a religion. The Religion sends all the desires of life to infinity, the God. The desire makes the human beings to fight each other. The death of his brother is cheering news to the greedy. He is hungry for the brain of his neighbor. He is thirsty to the blood of his colleague. In a religion, we have a belief in God. As the God is not so feeling like a flower or fire, the Creator is not found. The picture also certifies that no religion is perfect today and that maintenance is urged.
