The plant originally generated at 35 Hz to power Minneapolis's growing street car system. Its direct-connected design was adapted from the nearby 1898 Lower Falls Dam (nonextant) by William de la Barre, the Austrian-trained, chief engineer St Anthony Falls Water Power Co. Earlier hydroelectric plants were based on technologies carried over from the milling industry, such as the Main Street Hydroelectric Plant which used a rope drive to connect the turbines to the generators.

It was a day that will be remembered by four of us. The day when me, AzmanRahman, Mozakim and AzmanAbdullah try to capture the beauty of the city that we live in. We settled down with Jelatek first and continued with this Telekom Malaysia tower. Except AzmanRahman, it was our first try and experience in these two photography hot spots for urban landscape of Kuala Lumpur.
The helicopter regularly flies the power lines to look for issues
...or maybe it's a new eco-electric chopper??

Bessie just got herself a new pair of shades... Some Doggles for our trip to St. George Island in a few weeks. I'd say she's enjoying them...

Captured at Lopez Ridge in San Diego, this striking image showcases the intricate and essential maintenance work being performed on an electricity transmission tower.
Now a Cul-de-Sac the canal once connected the Power Station north of Coventry with the Coalfields' of Moira and Donisthorpe in Leicestershire, those pylons are part of the modern powergrid and are heading for the site of the former power station at Longford in Coventry. Those very mines at Moira and Donisthorpe created subsidence which caused the loss of the last 8 miles and despite bickering between the Mine, Rail and Canal owners to close it by 1944 the War Department stepped in and made them keep it open.
Owners the Ashby Canal Trust are working towards rewatering it during the coming decades.

At first I didn't like the hydro tower, but then I started to like the juxtaposition of man's made power structure to nature's own. Day 239 in the bag, early!
Enjoy in the light box - It's Sunday!

Hoisting the wires with the help of a helicopter and a dauntless worker.
After the nuclear accident of Fukushima Germany has declared a turn of policy ("Energiewende"): to close down all nuclear plants and turn to renewable energy production instead. Many new transmission lines are needed to transport electricity from the northern wind farms to southern industrial centres.

I really do have this thing about power lines. I was delighted to find that from the hotel window in San Antonio I had this opportunity to see them from this angle. I wasn't so delighted when I realized that I had left my little Sony that I carry to avoid changing lenses on the Canon. That's life. And - no, I didn't have a lot of photos on the camera but I did have a few videos from New Year's Eve that my daughters will love seeing posted by the lucky person who finds the camera in the hotel laundry. Watch out daughters - a viral video is on the way that features you both!
