It is hard to get permission to take pictures inside an active plant ?

Yes it is and it´s getting more and more difficult every year. Getting into a mill in Western Europe or USA is nearly impossible now. The heavy industry is struggling hard and the companies just doesn´t want to be exposed. Too bad for me, but I understands that.
