These are parts of a cooling tower in an old power station in Monceau, Belgium. The trumpet-like structure in the middle introduced hot water to the structure, where it then cooled while dripping down hundreds of small concrete troughs and slats.

Nestled in the tiny neighborhood of Monceau-sur-Sambre lies an abandoned power plant. This apocoloyptic-like place is located in the Belgian town of Charleroi where astonishing old cooling towers that once provided energy gaze over a town.
Originally constructed in 1921, this power plant was once the largest coal burning power plant in all of Belgium. Power Plant IM was in operation until 2007 after protests from Greenpeace shut it down due to the plant producing 10 percent of total carbon dioxide emissions in Belgium.
Today the old plant remains closed and protected by security guards after reports of looting for metal scraps was reported. Some photographers have managed to sneak in an take photographs of the moss-coated entrails.
