An Abandoned Cooling Tower...

After her return from California, Jimmy and Veronica set off for Charleroi, Belgium to visit an abandoned power plant. Seeing Jimmy cycling towards it helps to show the scope of the massive cooling tower.

According to an article in Slate, the plant was built in 1921 and closed in 2007 due to its high carbon dioxide emissions.

After some looting by metal scrappers, security guards were occasionally posted, but were fortunately absent the day of Jimmy and Veronica’s visit and they were able to walk straight in.

They went back at night to take some photos with a laser; it was creepy, but the result was cool.
