Can you explain why you have filmed a video IN THE DARK ?
People can NOT see anything apart from the odd light on a wall
It is completely pointless, did you watch it before uploading?

Your web site is good, but filming a video in the dark is stupid!

You can always watch it later and check for ghosts, I suppose.

'Stupid' huh... It wasn't a planned trip, I didn't expect to get in, I didn't
have any lighting, I was lucky I even had cameras. I shot what I could using
available light and salvaged the least worst. Most of the videos are reasonably
well lit. 

I'd like to see you do better in the circumstances. In fact, I'd like to see you
even manage to get access...

*Constructive* comments are welcome! :-)

Great videos Mike !

The muppet that complained about them being badly lit needs to see an 
optician or buy a new monitor.

I always loved the architecture in the old hydro stations, even though the 
public never sees them they still saw fit to put in tiled floors and nice 
wooden handrails etc. I remember seeing inside the Loch Tummel station at a 
young age and thinking how great it was that electricity being made has a 
smell. They always seemed like very cosy places to be in winter.

I think many countries could learn a lot from Scotland's Hydro-Electric 
scheme. It seemed to not just work, but work really well. I wonder what Al 
Gore thinks of it. It does kind of put solar energy to shame and continues 
to do so. As long as it just keeps raining we are in good shape !

G

p.s. I see you are in Westchester? I'm living out on Long Island and I need 
little or no excuse to hook up with another Scot for a good old fashioned 
pub crawl in the city. unless you have become so Americanised you cant 
handle your drink anymore?  :)

The message <4af276eb$0$31269$607ed4bc@cv.net>
from "Gavin Christie"  contains these words:

Not just other countries, I don't think Hydro needed to close any
stations for a year(?) soon after opening because of rockfalls!
