Where engineering meets poetry: Grønvollfoss Power Plant stands quietly by the Tinnåa river, its dam mirrored in a glass-like surface. Morning mist drapes the hills, softening the industrial lines into a serene composition. This hydroelectric station is part of Norway’s renewable energy backbone, harnessing the power of water to light up homes while preserving the harmony of nature.
Fun Fact
Grønvollfoss kraftverk was commissioned in 1933 and remains an important hydroelectric facility in Telemark. Norway generates over 90% of its electricity from hydropower, making scenes like this a symbol of sustainable energy.

The blades of the mills, illuminated by the last light of the sunset, due to their movement, are diffused into a circle of light on which the shadow of the masts is cast.

A wind turbine rises over a green wheat field in the Palouse area of Washington State on an idyllic sunny spring day.
After finding some great spots at sunset the evening before, I decided to turn my day trip into a weekend and take more shots at sunrise. This wind farm in the southwest corner of Alberta near Pincher Creek is also surrounded by a few gorgeous abandoned buildings and an incredible landscape that changes immensely in each direction you look.

This railroad company operates its entire line on electricity derived from 100% renewable energy sources.
The @VancouverLookout and Crown Mountain catch the first rays of Sunday morning's sun. Steam rises from the Creative Energy building on Beatty Street, part of Vancouver's quest to become the greenest city in the world. This steam plant delivers heat to over 210 Vancouver landmarks, residential towers, hotels and office buildings, including BC Place, St Paul’s Hospital and Queen Elizabeth Theatre. It even provides the steam for the whistle on the Gastown Steam Clock! Captured in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada ~ December 3, 2017
Our son gave us a tour of the Mechanical Engineering School at the Stanford University in California. He explains the shock tube, which is an impulse reactor that generates shock waves to near-instantaneously heat a test gas. Shock tube experiments drive new discoveries in chemical kinetics, fuel design, clean energy, hypersonics, and spectroscopy. They operate across a wide range of temperature (500–10,000+ K) and pressure (0.01–1000+ atm) conditions.
I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photos from a JPG exposure, merged them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Wind turbines dwarf a farmhouse in the palouse area of eastern Washington state. Seen from Steptoe Butte State Park.

A peaceful sunset over a wide open landscape, where a line of wind turbines rises against the sky. The fading golden light creates a calm yet powerful atmosphere, highlighting the harmony between nature and clean energy. A quiet rural path leads toward the horizon, adding depth and a sense of journey to the scene.
The yellow beaked sculpture guarding the entrance is a crow : according to Tim Brady of the Codrington Wind Farm. To passing tourists, the sculpture is a beautiful icon.
It is a wind farm on the coast of south-western Victoria, near Yambuk. The Codrington site is close to perfect with strong prevailing winds blowing off the Southern Ocean. Completed in June 2001, the 14 wind turbines generate 51 GWh annually, for a capital cost of 30 million Australian dollars by Pacific Hydro, being the first fully private investment in a wind farm in Australia. When opened it was Australia’s largest wind farm and the first in Victoria. The wind farm now generates enough electricity each year to supply the equivalent of 10,000 Victorian homes and each year avoids the emission of 49,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions – the equivalent to taking more than 17,000 cars off the roads.
This wind farm is privately owned by the Crowe family, and is only open to pre-booked, group visitors.
On a bustling day in Dublin City Centre, a sleek Wrightbus Streetdeck double-decker bus navigates through D'Olier Street, proudly displaying its Route 9 destination sign: "Limekiln Avenue via City Centre." This particular bus, part of Dublin Bus's fleet, stands out as it's not the usual model assigned to this route, which typically sees older bus types. The Wrightbus Streetdeck, a modern marvel in public transportation, is a fully electric vehicle, contributing to Dublin Bus and Bus Éireann's commitment to sustainability. With zero-emission technology, this bus aligns with Ireland's broader environmental goals, reducing the carbon footprint of urban transport while offering a quieter, smoother ride for passengers. The Streetdeck's advanced battery system allows it to cover extensive routes without the need for frequent recharging, making it a reliable choice for busy city operations.
The Dublin Bus Route 9, connecting Charlestown in the north of the city to Limekiln Avenue in the south, is a vital artery for commuters traveling through the heart of Dublin. Passing through key landmarks like D'Olier Street, the route offers easy access to the city centre's commercial and cultural hubs, including Trinity College and the bustling shopping areas of Grafton Street. Operating with a frequency of approximately 15-20 minutes during peak hours, the service ensures that passengers can travel conveniently throughout the day. The first bus typically departs Charlestown around 5:30 AM, with the last service leaving the city centre close to 11:30 PM, catering to both early risers and late-night travelers. This reliable timetable, combined with the eco-friendly Wrightbus Streetdeck, makes Route 9 an essential and sustainable link for Dubliners navigating the vibrant capital.

Solar Impulse, the solar aircraft built in Switzerland to circle the globe, took off this early morning at Moffett Federal Airfield at NASA Ames in Mountain View, California. I got an invite to witness this historic journey around the world.
Founders and pilots Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg first addressed the press. André climbed into the cockpit for this leg to Phoenix, Arizona. The flight will take 16 hours. I had a big tripod with me and could blend in with the press to get a prime spot for takeoff. Preparations were long, but the actual takeoff happened very quiet and sudden. I took this shot a few minutes before take-off at 5am in the morning.
Bertrand and André want us to use more clean energies. In their word, they want to push the transition to renewable energy resources. Very inspiring!
The aircraft has a wingspan bigger than a Boeing 747, but weights just 2 tons instead of 400 tons. To preserve weight and aerodynamics, this aircraft has no landing gears on the side. People hold the aircraft level on long poles until it gains enough speed. More info on this historic flight at www.solarimpulse.com

The sun sets over the hills of Bantay and Pagudpud, rural towns on the northern most part of Luzon Island, Ilocos Norte, Philippines. The country invested a lot of money to harness the wind and sunshine that is ubiquitos in this part of the Philippines. This is the last in a series of shots taken at this location.
