5PR1NK5 • Vast Spaces & Forgotten Places
Prerequisite. (Explored)
34-52- Week 34 of the project 1/52 challenge- Back from an awesome few days exploring round Belgium!
This was our final and most anticipated location on day one- A huge abandoned power plant nestled within a city that was once a heartland for industry in Belgium.
We arrived late in the afternoon, found access within the grounds and started to search for access to the power plant whilst avoiding security. After searching far and wide only to find all apparent points sealed, we started to head back till we noticed that gap that we dismissed earlier as most probably being an entrance into some maintenance building or something.
Upon climbing in we found ourselves within the boiler rooms and head up 5/6 stories capturing some shots of some awesome pipework along the way. As cool as this was, we had set out to find the Holy Grail- The turbine hall and while at the top of the boiler house we done a little thinking and realised we may be close.
By this point the light was fading fast as we head back down the levels trying to find our bearings. Mid way down I spotted a gap, peered in and realised we had found our gold!
After a hastily trip down the stairs, slip through a small gap, up a couple of platforms we were greeted with an epic turbine hall! It was something like going through the wardrobe to Narnia! Incredibly impressive in scale!
It was dusk by this point so virtually impossible to capture decent images due to dark! We had our recce and planned route so headed back for a well earned Jupiler and early night to head back early morning! This was my only shot that night due to losing light!
