I've already been on that site but it doesn't appear to tell you each location.

I believe that above is located in Charleroi which the last time I looked was in Belgium.

The photos are spectacular (in even better resolution on his website), but it is not Charleroi and Jim is right: It could be on one of the photos (I'm quite sure it is) but that doesn't help to solve it.

No and any clue about the origin of the shot would mean a giveaway.

I once worked a few days in a cooling tower at Esso Antwerp and being hoisted in from the top wearing breathing apparatus was a real eerie experience as I recall.

I couldn't refurbish the valve I was working on quick enough so I could get out.

Calder Hall?
