Tegel Panorama - The Other Side Of The Story

I shot this panorama at a place near to my house, it is within the city of Hamburg / Germany.
The lake you see is called a "Tegel" which is a german word and describes a layer of earth that is present in that region. It is similar to marlstone, but I couldn't find an exact translation for it.
At this site workers used to gather the clay type of earth to make bricks out of it. That was before WWII, when the brick manufactory was destroyed by bombs dropped from the allied forces. Most factories or manufactories were bombing targets, but this one was also a target because there was a flak station in the manufactory building complex. I don't even want to know what hazardous load the little lake still holds, because it is known that about 10%-20% of all bombs dropped during WWII didn't explode.

That is the other side of the story to this (beautiful) photo of a place nature reclaimed for good.

As always, I would appreciate it a lot if like this work and and/or comment on it.
