Can you explain why you have filmed a video IN THE DARK ?
People can NOT see anything apart from the odd light on a wall
It is completely pointless, did you watch it before uploading?
Your web site is good, but filming a video in the dark is stupid!

You can always watch it later and check for ghosts, I suppose.

'Stupid' huh... It wasn't a planned trip, I didn't expect to get in, I didn't
have any lighting, I was lucky I even had cameras. I shot what I could using
available light and salvaged the least worst. Most of the videos are reasonably
well lit.
I'd like to see you do better in the circumstances. In fact, I'd like to see you
even manage to get access...
*Constructive* comments are welcome! :-)

The muppet that complained about them being badly lit needs to see an
optician or buy a new monitor.
I always loved the architecture in the old hydro stations, even though the
public never sees them they still saw fit to put in tiled floors and nice
wooden handrails etc. I remember seeing inside the Loch Tummel station at a
young age and thinking how great it was that electricity being made has a
smell. They always seemed like very cosy places to be in winter.
I think many countries could learn a lot from Scotland's Hydro-Electric
scheme. It seemed to not just work, but work really well. I wonder what Al
Gore thinks of it. It does kind of put solar energy to shame and continues
to do so. As long as it just keeps raining we are in good shape !

p.s. I see you are in Westchester? I'm living out on Long Island and I need
little or no excuse to hook up with another Scot for a good old fashioned
pub crawl in the city. unless you have become so Americanised you cant
handle your drink anymore? :)

Not just other countries, I don't think Hydro needed to close any
stations for a year(?) soon after opening because of rockfalls!

he's got some great pix of underground Hydro-Electric stations in
Scotland, they're like Dr.Evil's Secret Underground Lair! Would make a
good movie/TV location, as long as they don't let off any explosives,
its some distance underground with a lot of water in those pipes...

Good stuff - there used to be a tour of an underground hydro station I
can't remember if it was Scotland or Wales. That said for the best
**Evil Professor Fuckflaps mountain hideaway** it has to be a damn and
concealed buildings high in the Dolomite Alps. it looked like a James
Bond set.

Not power satiations, but if any one is in to underground stuff:
http://www.subbrit.org.uk/rsg/sites/
http://www.subbrit.org.uk/sb-sites/sites.shtml
Same site, obviously, but its not very well constructed, so the links above
get you to the main list pages. Hopefully from there you can navigate to the
interesting stuff.

I've been on tours of a couple of those - Dinorwig in Wales and Clachan
in Scotland. It's an interesting way to kill an hour when it's raining
outside.

Clachan?

You could certainly (and still can, AFAIK) get a tour of the one at Ben
Cruachan in Scotland.

Aye, that's the one I meant when I said Clachan.
