Electrical Landmark
The downstream side of the circa-1897 hydropower plant, one of the first of its kind ever built and the oldest still in operation.
With a little cropping and processing, a photo taken this year could look a century old. Right out of the bottom of the picture are some blaze orange safety markers, and to the left are the modern transmission lines. What I didn't need to crop out was the adjacent coal-fired power plant that took over when too little water was flowing on the Hudson River to generate electricity. That was demolished years ago.
