ThankYou! Made me thinking :-)

Your first photos were of the old Potomac Edison hydro facility at Harper's Ferry W.V. It ran all the way up into the early 90's I think.

When Hydrogen U.

Played Oxygen Tech.

The game had just begun.

Then hydrogen racked up two fast points.

While Oxygen still had none.

Then Oxygen scored a single goal.

And thus it did remain.

At hydrogen U. and Oxygen Tech.

Called because of rain.

sweet.

some of those pics would be awesome B&W prints.

this series is totally righteous.

[SCODgreenhood]

Thanks dude. The B&W are online copies of actual prints in the Library of Congress, all of which our team took in 1997. Mayor Brawley that proposed purchasing this Hydroelectric plant for the Town was like a grandfather to me.

Awesome. Great pics,we must demand that our leaders get going on renewable energy. Offer huge tax breaks to companies that focus entirely on renewable energy(not just a token effort like some of the major oil companies). Also,tax breaks and loans to start small businesses that focus on advancing this type of energy. WE have to make it AVAILABLE to everyone who wants it. We have to make renewable energy affordable as well. Peace bro.

The black and whites are from one of our NPS projects, recorded for the public and kept in the National Archives, Library of Congress DC. That power plant was originally used for our Federal Rifle manufacturing as a Tilt Hammer shop (water turned wheels), then a paper mill, then Hydro-Electric. Now abandoned.

Good job on this.

What do you mean "and ice" though?

Wouldn't ice stop everything in it's tracks?

[SCODgreenhood]

Yes with Water Wheel. I recorded the poem first, and didnt match the images with the ice part. Turbines continue to work because they are below the surface of most River ice. Ice is the frozen form of water, and should be remembered and studied more for energy uses. In architecture we must account for them.

hmmn, oh ok.

thanks

[SCODgreenhood]

You are welcome. SCOD just subed you, and watched your vids. :)
