A control room out of the 80s.
A lot of dials. Even got to walk in behind these giant panels and see what was in there - it was surprisingly dull. I like that the power cables driving these dials and computational units were huge - looked like 600volt lines or something from back then.
This place was scattered with the strangest collection of computer manuals, emergency operational guidlines and even magazines from the date the powerplant closed in the 80's. Magazines about Pet grooming, Macleans (Canadian political rag) and even gardening... telling what the people monitoring the plant at the time it closed were interested in. Sort of a strange time capsule.

Smoke rises from a controlled burn of oil from the Deepwater Horizon wellhead on the water off the coast of Louisiana June 13, 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico. Sunday, June 13, Day 54 of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill that began with the April 20 explosion and fire on the drilling rig Deepwater Horizon, owned by Transocean Ltd. and leased by BP PLC, which is in charge of cleanup and containment. The blast killed 11 workers. Since then, oil has been pouring into the Gulf from a blown-out undersea well. Photo © Kate Davison/Greenpeace
Tell Congress: No drilling, no coal, clean energy now!

Here are Kellie and Joshua on the Control Freek Ride at Belmont Park in San Diego. This one flips upside down and goes around in circles. Not for the weak in stomach.

Took this unexpected shot as I was leaving MIA. I had been standing on a cement pillar to look over the chain-link fence to grab the sunset, and as I walked back towards the car this flock of birds was quick to return back to their spot to gaze at the sunset. T3i and Sigma 18-250mm.
Mindlessly broken or to stop unwanted flooding? A shame they weren't just jammed if it was to stop unwanted flooding and such a waste if it was just vandalism. River Don opposite Seaton park.

Although the radio telescope at Mt Pleasant wasn't doing scientific work on the day we visited, we were kindly given a tour of the facilities and even shown how the dish itself was maneuvered. The control room was filled with electronic instruments I remember from the days when studying a unit of electrical engineering in the 1970s (before I decided it wasn't a career option for me). But there is some very recent equipment here as well. You can see the computer box from SpaceX, as this telescope also monitors their satellites in space.
