The coal crane at the former power station of the WWII Peenemünde Army Research Center (Heeresversuchsanstalt Peenemünde).
Construction of the power plant started in December 1939, it went operational in November 1943.
The power station remained in use after occupation by the Red Army in 1945. It was extended in the early 1950s and continued to supply power until 1990.
Nowadays it is a part of the Peenemmünde Museum facilities.

No, not the English Newcastle, my home town, just 100km up the coast from here.
I took this shot just after dawn at Norah Head, where you’ll often see a dozen or more ships waiting offshore. Having grown up in Newcastle and worked at BHP, on the plant and at times in the coke ovens, I thought I had a reasonable grasp of the steel and coal industry. Turns out, I was pretty uninformed about the sheer scale of maritime movements here.
Apparently, Newcastle Harbour sees around 2,000 ship visits (or 4,600 ship movements) per year, with up to 23 vessel movements in a single day - a huge portion of them carrying coal.
What really blows my mind? These massive giants of the sea operate with crews of just 15-25 people. Life at sea must be an experience like no other.
Any golfers out there? Fun fact - Australia Has the World’s Longest Golf Course. Nullarbor Links spans 1,300kms/850miles, stretching from Kalgoorlie (WA) to Ceduna (SA). The 18-hole, par 72 course crosses two time zones, with players traveling along the highway to reach each hole. On average, a full round takes four days - better pack snacks! ⛳

B651 heads east past the C&O signals at Coal Run Junction, a few miles northwest of Pikeville. After a foggy morning, the sun has finally burned through to light up the scene.
-The Number 9 Coal Mine was opened in 1855 by the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company. It was the World’s Longest-Operating Coal Mine. The mine featured miles of tunnels and went as far as 800 feet below the surface. It produced a significant amount of anthracite coal from the Panther Valley’s Mammoth Vein in Carbon County, PA.
In 1972, the mine was officially closed. 1992, 20 years after closing for business, the Number 9 Coal Mine was opened for tours to those wanting to learn more about this industry that built Northeastern Pennsylvania. - (Source: Uncovering PA)
