"Cool Towers"

In 2022, I visited the Zollverein coal mine in Essen. It is also called the "Eiffel Tower of the Ruhr area." The site has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today, the mine is no longer operational, but it serves as an extraordinary cultural center where you can experience the history of coal mining and processing combined with art and remarkable events.

The photo was taken inside one of the two cooling towers (chimney coolers), which are octagonal in shape and were previously waterproofed. Today, the towers consist only of the riveted steel structure. For this shot, I chose this interior view of a tower because you can see both steel towers stacked vertically.

For those interested in learning more about the cooling towers and the mine, here are some explanations below...
