Light in the darkness - Coogee Power Station by Akrotiri
The abandoned Coogee (South Fremantle) Power Station, Western Australia
Commissioned in 1951, the power station ceased operation in 1985 as operations moved elsewhere. The structure has been stripped of all plant and machinery and it has been replaced by urban art. Tunnels, hallways, girders and staircases make up the web of trails throughout the building which is now heritage listed but in disrepair despite its vast ocean front viewing.

Yes the light was tricky yesterday, very bright or very dark. I love how it formed spotlights though. Thanks Helen

Hope you didn’t wander through there by yourself ! Great capture
No, we had a small group of us that wandered through. The light was fantastic = quite a challenge at some places but always interesting.

Great capture of the light here to pick out those colours!
Thanks Jo, some internal rooms and corridors were pitch black, others were light and open to the sky. An amazing place.

Amazing capture and statement about modern life!
Thanks Lynda. The visit had a lasting impact and this was my farewell as I left the building.
