Skylights

S&X seen in the background through the fog.

An iron gate separates vaults below the barracks.

Note the rails in the floor that guided cars to the coating line, the side of which is lined with the windows in the center of the image.

The sun sets in front of a huge concrete building—about four times the size of the power plant. Probably a corn storage bin from an ethanol operation that ran here in the 1980s.

The historic entrance of the mill, alongside the (relatively) new Great Western offices.

Wind-battered catwalk lights between the shaft house and headframe/rockhouse building.

An automatically closing door, in case of fire or flood in the engine compartment.

The shaft house, where hydraulic steel doors allowed or denied entry into the mine shaft. Overhead is a light and alarm. If it sounds, the mine is being evacuated, and you best not go in and best stay the hell out of the way. Locals dump tires here, now.

2015. Water damage hastens the decay of the annex and its stage. Every time I visit this room, the chairs are in different places. Kodak Portra 400 in a Voigtlander Bessa.
