Cuban and I visited this place with a European explorer close to the beginning of our little trip where we visited close to thirty sites. I prefer my residential and hospital explores however the part that really made it for me about this place was the very old style control room which was sitting nicely under a carpet of undisturbed dust. The basic architecture of the building and the windows made for some nice shots also. I've included some of the metal bits for you hungry industrialists.

A final look at the sunrise in the horizon before we set on our merry way with unbeknown to us another two power plants on the cards.

We had to make a sharp exit when workers came in.
