Hi everybody
Would love to see pictures of what people thinks a typical powerplant looks like.
Will start by posting some you might have seen in my batting thread; Swan Mill Power Plant:

Svanemølleværket / Swan Mill Power Plant.
Especially smaller plant, or plants that can be downscaled like the Dieselhouse would be of interest.
I've been in the MAN Diesel House. I enjoyed it alot, especially the exhibition about MAN's past. It's a shame it's located on the end of a labyrinth, hardly anyone visits it. &mmm
Well hope with the development of the area its going to be less of a labyrint. Well there is a shortcut from Vasbyvej.
Still no one has posted any pictures!!!!!
Had hope to get some sort of inpiration!
I don't know of any power plants located near my city, the closest one I can think of is the Maritsa - Iztok (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maritsa_Iztok_Complex) one. It's located about 250 km from my home city and, according to wikipedia, it's the largest power plant complex in the Balkan peninsula.

Very nice pics.
Here is one by my old house that they just tore down a few years ago.

When I was building power plant in simcity I was inspired by Bełchatów power plant. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Be%C5%82chat%C3%B3w_Power_Station) Its fuel is brown coal, and it's the largest thermal power plant in Europe.

There is also mine nearby, as near other plants with brown coal as fuel.

Click on the image to visit the Panoramio page (click again to see a bigger pic - contains a small map of the area too). More pics in Google Earth. There are more PPs in the area.
Other pics here (http://www.dei.gr/Default.aspx?id=921&nt=103&lang=2).
Yet more ones here (http://www.industcards.com/ppworld.htm).
Couldn't find a proper pic of a typical small diesel plant though. There are many small diesel plants in the islands, but they are rather indifferent, architecturally.
Here is a few I found searching myself.

They all have some sort of vertical lines going. Might use some of those elements.
Would love to see some more pictures.
