The only remains of this long abandoned hydroelectric plant are the underground head and tail race tunnels. A few years ago I went inside of the tail race outfall along the Mississippi river to explore the tunnel system left behind. Here are a few of my photos from the underground adventure. It was pitch black in the tunnels and I did not have a shutter remote on me so these are 30 second exposures being lit up by me waving around a flashlight. *** [![11278711385_6cf26ac8ba_o.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYtQgKDAcnGP34UaVyvJFRkJaQZ6Gsbnxq7Fk2cw4BbJ8/11278711385_6cf26ac8ba_o.jpg)](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYtQgKDAcnGP34UaVyvJFRkJaQZ6Gsbnxq7Fk2cw4BbJ8/11278711385_6cf26ac8ba_o.jpg) ^{Canon T3i, 30sec, 10mm, f/6.3, ISO 800 [5184x3456]} Click on image for full size *** [![12252736445_53078290a6_o.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYDFEhpXL1F3tXgW99EeVZRMbbSLfM5zMfsP4AeRHYu5Z/12252736445_53078290a6_o.jpg)](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYDFEhpXL1F3tXgW99EeVZRMbbSLfM5zMfsP4AeRHYu5Z/12252736445_53078290a6_o.jpg) ^{Canon T3i, 30sec, 10mm, f/6.3, ISO 800 [5184x3456]} Click on image for full size *** All photos posted on this account are original works by Brian Guiney @fivealive55.
