“Through me you pass into the city of woe;
Through me you pass into eternal pain;
Through me among the people lost for aye.
Justice the founder of my fabric mov’d;
To rear me was the task of power divine,
Supremest wisdom, and primeval love.
Before me things create were none, save things Eternal,
and eternal I endure.
All hope abandon ye who enter here.”

– Dante, “The Divine Comedy”

Anybody got a barrel.

What a lovely fireplace, I would never have thought it was in a hydroelectric plant.

Wow, u guys were lucky to get to go roller skating at wal-lex , when I was there, they didn't do that, we would be allowed to earn off ground priviledges and take a walk to the waverly oaks park down the street, but, we never did anything more than that, we would go out back for nature trail walks to Rocky Meadow where there was a swing set & til this day, that swingset is still there...

Man that’s a lot of torque.

This is an awesome picture for so many reasons. I love shipwrecks as much as I love old buildings so this picture is doubly enjoyable for me and Canada is a good place for both. Canada has a huge number of shipwrecks from the Empress of Ireland to Edmund Fitzgerald.

This spool makes me think of the tires on the old terex earth mover machines we saw all the time when I was a kid. We had a smaller one (only like 3 ft in diameter as opposed to some of the biggest that were closer to double that or more) in the yard we had filled with sand for a sand box, It's hard to image the sheer size of that spool when you look at it. That cable looks like it has to be a good 5-6 inches in diameter just based on the size of the spool. This seems much larger than your normal transmission line in diameter so these probably ran from the turbine to transmission lines or to a stepup transformer before it's sent out on the line to be transmitted.

Cool a new gallery and man that water is green it almost looks more like paint then water.

perfect lighting!

total vintage

I like this one, the green really pop's out.
