A photo of the `` oil platform '' towering over the sea with its unique beauty has become a hot topic
An oil platform is an offshore structure installed to extract oil and natural gas from the seabed, and there are those that are connected to the seabed and made into artificial islands and those that are floating. Federico Italiano , a translator and poet from Italy, posted several photos of ``an unintentionally dystopian oil platform with dystopian beauty'' on Twitter, attracting attention from many people.
The first photo posted by Mr. Italiano is an oil platform made in the Brage oil field in the North Sea , located 120 km northeast of the city of Bergen in western Norway. The combination of raging seas and towering megastructures creates a unique beauty.

Next is the Alpha Platform of the Cormorant oil field , located 161 km northeast of Lerwick , the only town in the Shetland Islands in Scotland. Exposed pipes and stairs are stretched around the uneven outer wall, making it look like the inside of a giant creature.

The Draugen oil platform off the coast of Norway has a structure that supports a ship-like platform with a single pillar, and it makes me uneasy that ``Is it going to lose its balance and fall down?''
