The Potomac Power Plant at Harpers Ferry

Seen across the river.

"The Potomac Power Plant was an innovative small hydroelectric facility that operated from 1899 to 1991, originally as part of a wood pulp mill (built 1888), and solely as a power house after a fire in 1925."

I like the timeless look and mood in this very nicely composed image. Wonderful clarity and your comments detailing the history of this structure really added a nice element. VV
