This makes me miss metal slides.

Yeah, they are radiators. Look at the far right, halfway up the image... there is a valve with a Bakelite plastic handle.

does anyone else see "Nicole" written above the right hole?

Interesting that each individual cell is labeled.
The layout of these batteries makes me think they may not be lead acid. 3 cells X 1.5 volts per cell = 4.5 volts per battery. Sounds like nickel-iron (Edison) batteries. Those are IMPOSSIBLE to find these days.

I'm going to have to side with the Rotary Phase Converter crowd. I took a tour of the Allen S. King plant and it was explained to me that DC voltage is required to power the field coils of the alternator. A car alternator works the same way, it has BIG cables to carry the power produced, but it also has small wires to supply the field coils with battery power. The King plant's exciter was run from the main turbine shaft. This exciter would have drawn power from another station already online. I believe King was designed to be able bring other plants online, thus the turbine driven exciter.

That is an ancient fire door. The weight on the chain is ment to keep the door closed incase a fire breaks out. Oddly, the road to my cabin crosses a bridge who's deck is made from fire doors scavenged from a demolished industrial plant.

So awesome!!! I wish I had talent like this!!!!

Motts, your translation is correct.

Greetings, the German. ;)

HI, I am German.

It's spelled wrong, "kaputt" is right, with two t's. It means broken. And "Hitler broken" makes no sense.

I believe that the writer wants to express something like "Hitler (must be) destoyed" because "kaputt machen" means "destroying something" in English.

These photo's are so beautiful, I find it wonderful that a photographer such as yourself has turned what the world see's as being ugly, into something so vividly beautiful. I can not wait to see more work from you.

Wolfie is correct. Its a shower. The left and right are water supply, while the center pipe runs up to the showerhead.

All of your pictures are amazing, but this is definitely one of my favorites.
