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

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

Another wonderfully atmospheric shot, Austin.

I really enjoy these urbex photos! I used to like to do such work myself, many years ago.
Are you familiar with the YouTube channel "The Proper People"? They travel the world, exploring all manner of abandoned sites, including some of the most spectacular power plants here in the USA. Well worth checking out, if you're into urbex.

"The Proper People" Interesting video. There also the plant is strongly degraded, whether from abandon or vandalism.
Actually I don't consider myself an urbexer. There are so many people doing the most incredible explorations.
I met this guy last September at a photo show: https://www.flickr.com/photos/thomascaryndotcom/
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.

They are water turbine blade pitch controls.
The spring loaded controls stop the water turbine over-speeding when the water pressure gets to high.
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.
