I've always found natural draft cooling towers freaky. You'd think there would be more going on inside, but most of it is just hollow. The structure just needs to be there to induce a draft.

Huh, where is this? And why is it full of wood?

Epic photos! It looks very distopian / I wonder how long it will be left standing.

If anyone else is curious, it's an abandoned power plant in Belgium. Here's another site with a bit more information.
