Caption

This is what Hell must be like, fire-blowing mouths everywhere. Burners to turn water into steam in this tower-shaped boiler.

Height: some 80 metres, producing electricity. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to photograph the inferno tower's interior as the burners were switched off for maintenance. The next time will be in twenty years.

Being inside is like being in a huge cathedral. When there are no fires, no steam, of course. Just imagine being at the very source of energy. This is where modern life begins.
