Il en reste deux éléments, dans deux villages de mon coin, qui ont été utilisés pour restaurer des ponts détruits après la guerre.
On les appelle les "ponts d'Arromanches".
Known locally as "Big Allis" (after Allis-Chalmers, the manufacturer of the largest of the four generators in the plant), Ravenswood is fired by both natural gas (now the primary fuel) and oil, but also has the capability (never used, as far as I know) to burn coal.
Ravenswood has been linked to a spike in asthma and other respiratory disorders among local residents. There is pressure to decommission the generators and replace them with a battery bank to store renewable energy from upstate.
Hmf. Flickr's resizing algorithm is being particularly unkind to this image, producing a thin white boarder on the left and right that isn't present in the original image. The details look OK, but I've not seen this happen before.
Captured with the Rodenstock 32mm/4.0 Digaron-W lens (@ f/6.3), Phase One XT IQ4-150 camera. 12mm vertical shift to maintain geometry.
This is a straightforward head-on architectural view of the facades of the varied buildings on this block just after sunrise. It took some time to line up the camera to be parallel to the faces of the building, once again making photography feel more like an exercise in surveying.
Union Square West between 16th and 17th Streets in Manhattan is home to five distinctive and variously historically significant narrow mid-rise buildings.
The quirky Decker Building (2nd from left, at 33 Union Square West) is now chiefly residential with a retail ground floor storefront. From 1967-1973 it housed Andy Warhol's "Factory" studio, where, in 1968, he was famously and nearly fatally shot by an irate Valarie Solanas. The neighborhood was more colorful back then.
