| 1. Power station |
 |
 |
View from the lake, which has given name to the village. Nobody has taken care of the yard for a long time.
|
 |
Strong, well constructed power station looks like the past century hadn't affected it at all. Windows may be missing due to local youngsters, but the building itself is in excellent shape. If only somebody would come up with something to use it for.
|
 |
Looks like a place where you would have to use a jungle knife to proceed by walk, if it was summer. In that way January was a good time for the visit.
|
 |
View from the railroad would also be quite different if it wasn't winter.
|
 |
The small extension in front is a garage for some small vehicle.
|
 |
Hatch of the smoke channel.
|
 |
Access forbidden access fuckin' allowed.
|
 |
Looking to the sky..
|
 |
This switching board has faced a terrible fate.
|
 |
One of the survivors on board.
|
 |
Surprise... The place is a ruin, but steamer is still there!
|
 |
It's a three cylinder engine, manufacturer unknown.
|
 |
Too long with too little grease.. Rust has seized the rods.
|
 |
Eeh, valves?
|
 |
Out of order. Really??!
|
 |
Emergency valves among junk, which has invaded the station. Some farmer in nearby has started to use it as a long-term junk warehouse.
|
 |
Heavily beared main axis and wheel.
|
 |
Enter the boiler room...
|
 |
Collection of pipes'n'valves in the boiler room.
|
 |
Closer look.
|
 |
7B may rule, but some of it's pupils should not have written it here. I personally would suggest writing it somewhere to the school properties instead, where much more eyes would see it.
|
 |
Is there an abandoned place on earth, where you can't find pentagram/swastika/dick/fuck/<xx> rules/<xx> suxx tags? If such place exists, this isn't it.
|
 |
And now another interesting detail. Tube count of the boiler is.. Not 100, but 98.
|
 |
Fire tubes from the more seldom-seen side.
|
 |
In the boiler!! As you may guess, the photographer himself didn't enter. Just the camera did.
|
 |
Frozen fire crypt inside the boiler.
|
 |
Nice asbestos stuff atop the boiler.
|
 |
Exhaust daily - cool valve.
|
 |
It would be no problem to get down there, but getting back up would be a whole another thing. No basement expeditions.
