Grant and I took a trip to Brazil last year and these are pictures from the power plant there. I cannot remember all the details but this is the largest Hydroelectric plant in the world and considered one of the seven man made wonders of the world. You cannot fit the whole plant in one picture!
This is the control room, because the plant is located on the river that separates Paraguay and Brazil they share the plant. The desk at the left of the room is run by people hired in Paraguay. The desk at the right of the room is run by people hired in Brazil and the desk in the center is the man in charge of the plant for that year. They change the "president's" position every year. One year it is held by someone from Paraguay and the next year a Brazilian holds the position.
Notice also the line down the center of the room. That separates the countries.
This large hallway is actually where the generators are brought in and installed. Each red circle on the floor is the 'door' to a generator. This is not the whole hallway this is only looking one direction. We were standing at almost exactly the middle of the plant!
