•  Info The Walchensee Hydroelectric Power Station, in operation since 1924, is located in Kochel, Bavaria (Germany) and was designed and developed by Oskar von Miller (1855-1934). The power station uses the height difference of about 200 m between the higher lake (Walchensee) and the lower lake (Kochelsee) to operate. The water flows with a maximum throughput of 84m³/s through 6 pipes down to the Kochelsee, where the power station is located. The 4 turbines in the foreground are of type Francis with three-phase generators (biggest in the world by that time) and 4 of type Pelton with single-phase generators located in the background. The water flow goes from left (water inlet) through the turbines to the right where the generators are also located. All by me, Poco² 17:06, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

•  Comment The image is for sure unusual and interesting, but I feel the 4:3 is very tight. Do you know why you chose to crop out the sides? Do you have a version with a centralized vanishing point? --DXR (talk) 06:48, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

  Hi DXR, the crop is the result of the perspective correction. A version the way you ask for is physically not possible in that building. Poco² 23:27, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

  Thanks for the info! That makes sense of course. --DXR (talk) 16:33, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
