Centrale Electrique Ohm, Belgium - February 2015

[The_Raw]

This old power station was the first stop on a recent trip to Belgium with extreme_ironing, monkey, obscurity, and wevsky. It was built in the first decade of the twentieth century in a typical Industrial Revolution architectural fashion with a grand steel roof. It was apparently abandoned a long time ago and subsequently bought by a private investor who has kept the turbines (??) and control panels looking pristine. Perhaps the plan was to turn it into a museum, I'm not sure, but for now it sits disused and it was a real pleasure to see it close up. My photos were taken while the sun was coming up, we had to get out of there pretty sharpish in the end so didn't get many shots in regular daylight. Could've spent all day in there!

Thanks for looking

Amazing! Very impressive with the different light colours

I didn't know this place is still accessible. Why could you not shoot at daylight? Is it wise to leave the place before sunrise?
