The Most Depressing View, EVER

This is a picture (not mine) of the BP refinery at Grangemouth that you pass on the M9 from Edinburgh to Stirling, as I did today. It was a beautiful spring day, and as we rounded the corner we got a lovely glimpse of the hills in the distance and the sun sparkling on the Forth. And then this came into view:

I can't think of a more depresssing sight. But when I was searching for the above image, I came across this, which shows the same place in a completely different light. I always try not to look at Grangemouth as it makes me want to greet, but that picture makes it look almost beautiful. If they could only make it look like that permanently, it would be just fine.
