Black and white week continues:
A little north of the Arch by the Mississippi sits the old Union Power & Light plant, St. Louis' original electrical generating station. The classical architecture contrasts sharply with the industrial equipment jutting out of it and the new bridge to the right.
The generators within powered the lights at The Palace of Electricity at the 1904 World's Fair here. As best I can tell from research it still produces something, although I see very few workers' cars when I walk around it.

Prefect light for a beautiful black and white.
encore un b&w magnifique (tu vas devenir la référence) et très belle composition
Bob - the Ashley Street Power station is definitely still active and running. I've been inside. They use only part of the whole complex, but it's definitely in use. It's very cool - history and all.
Wow. Great B&W architectural shot. Like it.
One of my favorite buildings in Saint Louis Bob.
Beautiful use of black and white. The wonderful old building contrasts nicely with the modern bridge.
The building's quite remarkable. It feels enduring.
A great shot Bob
Beautiful, Robert! Great sky!
The juxtaposition of old and new is beautiful.
Spectacular.
I'm trying to imagine it in colour but honestly b&w works wonders. It's a very powerful image.
