I love to photograph industrial ruins. Oh wait, you already know that. I know these are not ruins. Yet. This was the Long Island Lighting Lighting Company for nearly forty years and has been here since before I moved here in 1966. It has been managed by something called "National Grid" the last eight years or so. It was recently announced that it will be shut down and demolished! Wow! This is only half the facility - there is a huge brick building with more smokestacks on it, to the left of these structures. I think these boilers are newer than those in the brick building. It will be unimaginable that these structures will be gone one day. Oh, and one other thing - this company pays a fortune in school taxes to the community. It is going to hurt when we have to make up the difference.
