I've always found natural draft cooling towers freaky. You'd think there would be more going on inside, but most of it is just hollow. The structure just needs to be there to induce a draft.

Epic photos! It looks very distopian / I wonder how long it will be left standing.

If anyone else is curious, it's an abandoned power plant in Belgium. Here's another site with a bit more information.

Is that a water pipe that's part of the cooling and recondensation system in the foreground?

Where is this?
