Nice tonal scale. It looks beat up in just a few years of inactivity.Quote:

It has been purposefully vandalized. Since ~3months rehabilitation has started, to become a landmark. No more urbex, though.Quote:

"The Proper People" Interesting video. There also the plant is strongly degraded, whether from abandon or vandalism.Quote:

Then there is the incredible Lana Sator, e.g. https://lana-sator.livejournal.com/160176.html
I'm happy just doing my own thing.

Something to do with the regulation of the turbine.

The vandals stole the copper that was easy to cut away.

It is a common problem in hydro electric facilities.
Just thought I would let you know - in case you were interested.
Terrific picture though.

Thank you Martin. I'm always happy to learn about hydro power, that was well developed around here from the end of the 19th century.Quote:
