I worked at Valmont Power station for a while. At some point someone was coping the pictures from the building of the old units, 1922 to about 1940. Not sure who the photographer is of the hundreds of photos. I no longer have acess to the rest of these, but at the time I copied about 20. There is no sky because the film at the time didn't pickup blue. They are not mine, I do not own them, but I think some of them are worth showing. Copy them if you want.
