URBEX | STUNNING control room at an abandoned power station

Help us to get through the COVID-19 pandemic by buying our books; over 800 pictures taken in over 70 countries of the best abandoned places worldwide with info & history: exploringtheunbeatenpath.myon...
In this series we're on a roadtrip in Romania. After exploring long forgotten churches in the Romanian mountains we continue our trip and have some industrial locations on the list. We manage to get inside a historical power station with an amazing control room in art deco style.

    Magnificent. A cathedral to man's ingenuity. A perfect culmination of science, design, art, and the desire to lead mankind out of the darkness.

    Such a stunning piece of industrial architecture. Shame that most of the Art Deco control rooms have already been lost throughout the years here in Europe

    I think those were ink reservoirs for fountain pens in the control room. The grooves in the base to hold the pens. :-)

Little respect for safety, preservation, research or documentation with the rest. I believe you are setting the standard. Keep up the good work, be safe, and the book is gorgeous.

    Every time I watch one of your videos i cry because you are doing the one thing my heart so much desires. Since I was a child I always dream about exploring and visiting old abandoned or forgotten places. And every time I think of it I hate the people in this land more and more. Im a conservative and Im an absolute maniac when it comes to Real history and not the shit they teach you in school today. The reason for crying is that Im living in a country where it is even dangerous to take a stroll alone up our beautiful mountain because of people who does not care 2 fucks about life or irreplaceable and priceless artifacts. They are unable to see any beauty in historical or private property. If a factory has to close down tomorrow in 3 months the entire inside would be gutted and smashed. And with no chance to ever explore because of the danger of putting you life on the line I drive past places with a stone in my heart and with tears of anger and sadness to know I will never be able to see our once beautiful country of which I have never experienced. Thank you for your time and effort so that I may also have a glimps into how everything worked in the old and forgotten days, even if i cannot even explore in my own country out of fear and destruction.
