Next to San Jose is a small town called Alviso, located at the San Francisco Bay in California. I left work before sunset and first went to the Alviso Marina County Park to take photos of the colorful salt ponds. After sundown I went across the town towards the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge. These electric power transmission lines and clouds invited me to take this symmetrical shot.
I processed a balanced, a paintery, and a realistic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

#renewableenergy is leading the much needed #change to tackle the #climatechange problem by balancing the Environment and economic need of #ourplanet Now most part of the #world #solarenergy is the cheapest form of energy but because of its intermittent nature it can not solve all our energy need all the time.

Hello, my Flickr friends.
It has been a while since I posted any photos. I have been on a nice long holiday over the December and beginning of January and have been far away from any computers. I am back at work now for a few weeks and combined with our Electricity “Loadshedding” have not yet had the chance to edit and post some photos.
Anyway, I will try to post some of my holiday photos over the next few weeks. Starting with this “bird series”. Hope you enjoy it.
Load shedding is a real pain. Some days we only have 3 and half hours of electricity at day and then some at night. Sometimes the breaker in the substation blows up because of this switching and then you are without power for a few days waiting on repairs. While also increasing the price of electricity year on year by between 30% and 18%! So, we basically pay more for less electricity.

This one was processed by my 8 year old. I was sorting out few of the shots I got over the past couple of days and she asked to "color" one of them.. So, I opened one for her and she got busy.. I left her alone and started to watch football. Every couple of minutes she would ask me what a particular tool was used for in Lightroom, and then she would play with it.. long story short, after about 15-20 minutes she told me that she was done.. and once again, she really impressed me with her work. I think from now onwards, I'm just going to let her do all the processing.
The one in the comments is what I processed.. added a bit of noise..
Thanks for your views and comments. As always, your contructive criticism is always welcome and appreciated.
Have a great week ahead.
2016 was the year of colossal cyberhacks. It was revealed that cyberdata from corporations, consumer credit and debit cards used at certain large retail chains, a billion individual Internet accounts, government departments and private national election committee information were stolen by private and state actors.
In retailing, 2016 was largely a transition year in which consumer credit cards were upgraded from magnetic strips to the more secure EMV chips. It took cyberbreaches of millions of consumers among retail chains in the couple of years before to create the change to the new cards. Many retailers and merchants still do not have EMV readers.
Are we ready for the next technology revolution that is happening right now -- the Internet of Things in which everything is cyberlinked?

The electromagnetic field under this high tension power lines was pretty strong that I could feel a little tingling sensation on my head.
Only in Malaysia you can find people living nearby these structures and in this case of this plant nursery, people working underneath them. Sigh.

Three wind turbines turning their massive blades in the wind near Judith Gap, Montana.
The Judith Gap Wind Farm sits on both sides of Highway 191 between Harlowton and Judith Gap, Montana and includes more than 90 1.5 megawatt wind turbines. Turbines like these start spinning when the wind gets above six miles per hour (MPH), and power production begins when winds reach eight MPH. Because of inconsistencies in the way wind blows (especially here in Montana), wind turbines generally operate at 30% of their capacity. These turbines can generate power up to 33.5 MPH and in high winds exceeding 56 MPH (or more) they will shut down altogether.
Each blade is 126 feet long, and each tower is 262 feet high. In all, each tower weighs approximately 108,000 lbs. requiring a foundations that is 48 feet wide and seven feet deep. Expected annual output is 450,000,000 KW hours. All power is sold to Northwestern Energy under long-term contract.

This is the view to the east, with the Northern Luzon mountain range in the background, and the tip of Bangui Bay in the lower left. This image shows 9 of the 15 turbines of Bangui Bay.
These 15 wind turbines(called Vestas NM82) provide a total of almost 25 MW of power and is part of the Luzon Island grid in the Philippines. Height of these windmills is 70 meters. Each of the three blades has a length of 41 meters. The wind swept area of the rotors is approximately 5,280 square meters. Each windmill is 326 meters apart, almost 1/3 of a kilometer.
Location of the turbines is at Pebble Beach, on the shores of Bangui Bay, Ilocos Norte province. These turbines is the first power plant of its kind in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.
