Power Failure.

Yep, it's a power plant. I'm pretty sure a lot of you have been here, but this is my take on it. Many thanks to FireworksOrStars for taking us here (and to the kickin rad BBQ joint!)

These shots are amazing. Of course, the caution tape photo is my favorite of all. You have such talent, my friend. So fortunate to know you!

Awesome shots, I love way to many of these to be specific. Great work. I do especially love the cheap chainlink gate thrown in front of the exit in number 4 though.

Here's a lockpick. It might be handy if you, the master of unlocking, take it with you.

I love the incongruous green in these shots!

Is that something you had to bring out in post-processing, or was the contrast natural? I'm no good at all with use of color, but something about the brown/rust industrial contrasting with the green is just... wow.

Robert, I used Lightroom to jazz up the colors a bit, although the water in the first shot did have a strong hint of green to it already.

Very nice shots. Been wanting to get down there and explore. I've had it on my list since I found this site. Hopefully with school out now I can get there soon. These photos have just increased the urge.

Very awesome pictures and cool place. #17 is my favorite. I love to imagine what that place looked like in operation.

Amazing.

I have always loved abandoned places with smokes stacks or towers, it just reminds of an outstrecthed hand dragging me in.

Amazing shots! Forgive me if it was already mentioned, but what/where is the location? I'd like to make it out there myself if possible!
