Its a very cool find. and some great buildings.

It should be grease to keep the cables lubed up and kept it all from wearing out to fast.

The building below..was that the control house? It looks like the long slot is where the cable came off the wheel over the shaft and then to the drum of the winch.
Nice view out though

Great shot again Mr. Motts. and a great wallpaper

Cool Shot.

That is a fantastic shot! Thanx for the wallpaper :)

Jawohl wie schon das bildersammlung Motts!
Mit sie sind ansehnlich........

That looks rather like an artwork. Fascinating

Great perspective. Motts your photos would fit so perfectly well as backgrounds for some twisted industrial sci-fi adventure game, such a deep atmosphere to them

That's what miners used when they'd get too horny. Notice how the tiles below had been wiped out.

Cheratte is an old friend of mine, and your pictures of it are just delightful. Then days, even industrial sites like this were built with such care and dedication.

It is sad to see wonderful buildings like this to be left to just deteriorate away. On the other hand - it would be even sadder to see them being restaured into something semi-modern, all-commercial like big business HQ.

Ah! At a glance I saw someone leaning against the wall there. That was pretty creepy.

stimmt, war eher scherzhalber gemeint!!!!
Die gute alte Deutsch/Hollaendische Freundschaft. Ich wohne selbst 100 meter von der Deutschen Grenze entfernt. No hard feelings!!!

ba dum cha

Ich denke Tom hat das nicht soooooo ernst gemeint. Gruß an Stephanie, Tom und Mr. Motts!
