If only nature could actually give back all the trash to us, maybe we will see the damage we are doing :(

Thats sad...

For a few months earth took a breath, then humans came back with a vengeance :(

This image makes me anxious :(

Is this the aftermath of that enormous explosion`?

That is really lifeless

Ewgh. These types of pictures make me feel depressed and anxious

yep, that's how Trump likes it. He's in his gold-covered chair, you're dying at his feet.

And none of these fools has the sense to even consider that bathing in industrial waste speeds up your reincarnation process.

Its not a nuclear cooling tower. It is for a heating, electric and hotwater generating plant ( TETS in Russian) most are coal or gas powered and that is for releasing steam.

Poland is beautiful. ALL cities and towns have horrible buildings.

It's all about perspective!

It is a fake - EC-II is the first of three combined heat and power plants built in Łódź after the war. The unit was designed to operate in the so-called collector system (8 boilers, 6 turbine sets). The construction process took place in the years 1955-1960. In 1960, as a result of merging the CHP plant with Łódź Power Plant, the Complex of CHP Plants in Łódź was established. In the following years the expansion continued (1 steam boiler, 1 turbine set and 2 water boilers fired with mazout). In 2006, as a result of restructuring and ownership transformations, the CHP plant became a plant owned by Dalkia Łódź S.A. Electric power was 87 MW and thermal power 578 MWt. The CHP plant supplies process steam and steam for heating purposes as well as hot water to the city areas including factories. In 2011, due to the decrease in heat demand from industrial factories, a decision was made to decommission the CHP plant by mid-2015.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see how that first picture could hide something that large.

Current images show that it’s pretty much abandoned; overgrown & neglected, not even fully fenced off from public access. The pub on the corner though - complete knock-down/rebuild. Looks fantastic now, but still has the scary/gloomy background. Most recent Google maps - https://goo.gl/maps/e32TqSMSoBfpyAmVA

This powerplant is out of service since 2015 (EC-2 Lodz city)

Im from Lodz, This is cooling steam tower. The other chimneys are inactive most of the decade. After all, there is no smoke from them in the photo and at all becouse the power plant is inactive

It is a power plant, decommissioned but nuclear from all accounts, it's named the Victoria Power Plant. https://www.urbex-travel.com/power-plant-lodz/

Actually it's Łódź. All the letters are funny, cause Ł is pronounced like W, ó I pronounced like oo nad ź is soft, softer than j. Now you know.

So very sad, it was once such a beautiful little hotel.

I think light green was better.

Nothing like ruining someone business.

Please plant more flowers.

As far ss I know this is abandoned steam release tower.

ok now thats just sad
