Cu in the Tunnel
Filed Under General
The post drought has been broken with a visit to a set disused power tunnels. My usual associates were along and are very knowledge about such things and their whereabouts.

It was an interesting place which, I am guessing, once carried power from the nearby (re-purposed) power plant. Now long disused the drainage grates in the floor no longer remove water in a timely fashion, having long succumb to the thick mud and debris that cakes the floor.
While much of the copper cabling has been removed/pilfered (it is after all quite valuable these days) much still remained. Cut away in many areas, the gauge of the cable was impressive. Photographically this bend in the tunnel was the only thing that jumped out to me immediately but I’m sure the place has other opportunities. Though I always struggle to light long straight passages in an interesting way.

Great photo
dig the lighting and that reflection!
Thanks. Good ole diffused LED torches. Except the one high and behind to get those bolt shadows.
I think this was made for safety exit in case of emergency. This tunnel would have just been kept as a secret but I don’t think it was going to be exposed publicly.
