Making a genius loci — the spirit of a place — visible, is no easy thing, but David Ottenstein has a gift for it, whether in a bank building on an Iowa main street, or an abandoned power plant in upper New York state. In this local image, even the fog is precise, turning the entire sky into a beacon. This is the way to safety, across heaven’s mechanical bridge.
