Thanks for saying it! Well, actually, that entry's a bit old now. I'm shooting from time to time, but the low frequency is due to lack of time, and not so much the lack of inspiration. Nevertheless, Thanks! Actually, these three photos are from the same place; [link] [link] [link] . It's taken a couple of years ago at Bratsberg Hydro-power station. To harvest the energy from the water, and convert it into electrical energy, you need to let the water travel from a place of higher potential energy, harvest it, and let it pour out somewhere else - free of potential energy. Here, that's done by letting the water drop from a height of approx. 200 metric meters. Hence the underground look - cause it's actually inside the mountain, from which the water-resovoir on the top are flowing through.

I've got a couple more photos from that place, maybe I'll make'em

Ahh, I vaguely wondered if that might be some type of power facility, but those places aren't usually the type that will let you hop the fence and wander around. Were you with a tour group, or do you know someone who let you in? Is this station at a man-made dam, or along the bottom of a fjord, perhaps?

Cool; I'll keep an eye out if you do put`em up.

Yeah, I went there with my class. The visit was far more interesting than the calculations we had to do on the matter afterwards The reservoir isn't man-made, but the inlet-channel to the turbine is. Also, I don't think there would be possible to harvest energy from the bottom of a fjord; firstly they're very, very deep, and second - where would the waste water go?

Nice, I have them sort of done, we'll see

thanks a lot! I dig it when people comment on my stuff - both context and technical. The place was TOO awesome, I had to just shoot like crazy, and not plan my shots like I normally do. There was LOTS to photograph, just too little time. But thanks again, and for the fav.

Well, what's the last thing you want to run out of, in a place like this?
Film, and you know the other
