Sunset over Fawley

Sunset over Fawley.

 

The layers of cloud from the horizon upwards was really fascinating as the sun broke through from time to time.

 

The sun is setting over the Fawley Power Station in more ways than one. It was designed and built to provide power to over a million homes but it cannot meet current emission standards, so it was shut down.

 

The owners have plans to redevelop the site with new homes and shops and even a restaurant on top of the Power Station chimney.

 

The chimney, at over 650 ft, is 100 ft taller than the Spinnaker Tower, so the views would be spectacular.

 

If it is demolished, I will miss it from dominating the horizon around Southampton waters.
