Entropy.
Everything tends to move from order to disorder and this will be the case albeit a man made decision and not a universal law of thermodynamics on Aug 22nd when this view will disappear for good after the final three cooling towers and chimney stacks demolition. Five other towers were brought down in two stages during 2019 so I decided to make my journey to Flamborough coincide with sunset at Ferrybridge figuring it didn't matter what the sunset was like as I knew this LE of the light trails on the sweeping carriageway was the shot I wanted and to a certain extent it doesn't require a decent sky. Turned out to be a great sunset and the cloud to the West played ball and held off until just after.
Took a while to find the correct bridge which appears to be the local boy racers 1/4 mile track. BMW's, Audi's and Focus ST's lined up one after another to 'floor it' and speed past me kicking up clouds of dust. The drivers looked about 14. Maybe that's me just ageing and becoming grumpy or slightly jealous they get to drive nice cars at a young age these days. A far cry from tinkering with my Mark 2 Escort just to get the engine to run. Anyway it seems they floor it to the huge TK Maxx warehouse just to the right and then do a loop on to the A1(M) before working their way back through the lanes and round to the start of the '1/4 mile track' to do it all again.
Pleased to have got my visit to Yorkshire and the NE off to a good if somewhat dusty start.
