Abandoned Power Plant: Epic.  One of the coolest locations we have ever trespassed upon. Miles of rusty piping, machinery still intact, six stories of grated metal floors and a rooftop view worth every moment.

TCI: Up Close and Personal


Posted by: Exoth℮rmic

One can't get sick of TCI. I have been there 4 times and there is still much that I have not seen. These pictures are freshly finished, but are from our initial visit almost exactly a year ago.

Link to full gallery on Flickr (~75 photos).

1. Note that no one will ever see this and the next particular scenes again. Sometime around the winter of 2009/10 all of the stacks in this image were inexplicably demolished by some nefarious entity.

2. The fact that the historic stacks were knocked over without any public notification or even any media coverage thereafter is a travesty in itself.

I don't always go to Hueytown, but when I do, I take pictures of giant tigers.
