they have begun the slow process of gutting this plant currently the switch yard out front is being removed. there is a movement to convert this into a motel.

In Texas, they tend to just tear them down and build anew. Good idea to repurpose such an obviously well-constructed building. Well-composed and rendered.

I did a slight adjust to open up the shadows and adjust the "tilted" uprights.

Looks gallery-worthy to me. Nice work.

its actually being debated what to do with it .for the first time at night ,I plan to to do an sunrise photo early Saturday of it as its never black until recently. the units you see are two and three ,one is where I stood to take the photo,it was built out to include up,to 3 ,then,4 and 5 and when I listed 65 it was when it was 3 came on line,units 1 and 2 didn't shut down for the additions and one didn't either .its hard to tell they added like that until you see old photos.I had to gaunder for a few minutes at unit one to see it .the stacks are off set .you can't see that here ,the turbines are next to each other and straight in line

Will the machinery be reused, or is it all obsolete?
