Hello everyone. I'm including some pictures that I got over these past few days with a Pentax MX-1. Apologies if you've seen this post already, I'm brand new to UER and I didn't realize that this would be a much more appropriate place to post this, instead of the general photography forum or photo critiques.
I visited this abandoned water plant that used to service the University of Iowa. It is to be demolished in the next couple of days, and I believe that I was the last non-worker to see what's inside.
The buildings themselves - there are two, in a complex - contain relatively newer equipment, but one of the two buildings is nearly a century old, simply containing newer stuff on the inside. All the interior photos that don't look so good I got by sticking my camera into gaps between the boarded-up windows and bricks of the older building, as there is no way in. I've included them to give y'all an idea of what it looked like inside, not as much for art purposes. The newer building had an open door so the pictures I got inside were a bit nicer.
Here are my best shots from these past couple days. Also, if you have any comments or suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated!

Is this the plant that's right beside the Iowa River?

Yep, right off of N. Madison street and on the banks of the river.

Darn.  I hate to see it go. It's a neat building. Thanks for the look inside!

^^ It is a neat building! I've peered in its windows a few times, somewhat before I got into doing this, and it's sort of floated around on my list of things to see how possible it would be to get inside (my comfort levels can be... variable) but I guess not now! I had no idea they were planning on demolishing it. They're just tearing down all kinds of shit in our town (nyrrgh rrgh cottages rant). Hey, are you in the IC area? We should hang out.

The university is planning to build a new dorm in its place. And yeah, I live in IC! It's awesome to find a neighbor on here.
