Ukraine’s priorities include joining NATO, implementing the decisions of the Alliance's Washington Summit, and jointly intercepting Russian missiles and drones. This was the focus of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s discussion with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte during their meeting in Kyiv.
This is Mark Rutte’s first foreign visit as the leader of the North Atlantic Alliance. President Zelenskyy noted that this visit immediately clearly outlines the current priorities, indicating where the defense of shared Euro-Atlantic values is taking place right now.
“Our key goal is Ukraine’s full NATO membership. Ukraine can become the thirty-third member of NATO. Ukrainians deserve this,” said the President.
During the meeting, the parties thoroughly discussed the prospects for cooperation, the Victory Plan and the feasibility of Ukraine's approach to a just end to the war, the situation on the battlefield, and the needs of our units, including weapons and brigade staffing.
“Ukraine needs to strengthen its positions on the frontline so that we can increase pressure on Russia for the sake of fair, real diplomacy. That is why we need a sufficient quantity and quality of weapons, including long-range weapons, the provision of which, in my opinion, is being delayed by our partners,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized.
A separate focus of the discussion was Ukraine’s air defense needs. It is crucial for Ukraine that all air defense agreements, including those reached at the NATO Summit in Washington this July, are implemented before winter begins. Additionally, Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Mark Rutte discussed additional cooperation with neighboring countries, drawing on examples from the Middle East.
“Jointly intercepting Iranian missiles is no different from jointly intercepting Russian missiles, and especially "Shaheds," which link the Russian and Iranian regimes. What we need in our region is more determination from our partners to put an end to Russian terror,” the President emphasized.
Mark Rutte noted that, as NATO Secretary General, he will do everything possible to increase support for Ukraine.
“Your security matters for ours. Your fight for freedom reflects our core principles and values,” he said.
According to the NATO Secretary General, member states of the Alliance plan to boost their own defense capabilities and strengthen Ukraine’s defense industry.
“Ukraine is closer to NATO than ever before. And we will continue on this path until you become a member of our Alliance. I very much look forward to that day,” said Mark Rutte.

This artwork was painted within the framework of the Alarm Lutsk Festival 2015. The composition embodies emotional perception of the season change. For the artists working outdoors, the weather conditions play a vital role. With autumn's return, the street painting season is over, so you get even more motivated to implement all the ideas you're burning with. The Stolen Sun reverberates the selected topic, at the same time letting us draw a line under the performed work and get ready for the next stage.
This machine is not on display, but is still sitting on what was once the old Fresno Ranch. I can't figure out what it did.
Old farm implements at Seaton's Farm, Weddin Mountains National Park, NSW
There is a walk around 'Seaton's Historic Farm', which is now part of the national park. Seatons Farm is how one man and his wife turned every bit of wire into something useful. Jim Seaton hand made 3 km/1.8 miles of kangaroo proof fence by hand, with posts of local saplings, which are rot and vermin proof. The property was occupied in the late 1920s and during the Depression it was set up as a farm. Times and the land were hard and the buildings represent this. The sheds have walls made from flattened corrugated iron so that it stretched further. One of the sheds is full of old wire, iron sheets, bottles, everything you can imagine. All the old machinery is still there, sitting where it was when the family sold the property to the Government in the 1980s. A unique place, showing how the less well off farmers did it in the early and mid 1900s.

This is a test of developing Kodak Vision color projection film as black and white negative. There's a lot of potential here, but it's acting weird. I think this film might want a more active developer.

"The Church of Saint John of Nepomuk is a branch church of the Roman Catholic parish of St. Peter and Paul and a former monastery church of the Monastery of the Brothers of Mercy on Svatopluk Street in Prostějov.
The site of today's church was occupied by the Municipal Court, also called Schellenberg's. In 1733, the court was purchased by the Order of the Brothers of Charity with the contribution of the family of the princes of Liechtenstein. The court was surrounded by a garden, to which land was purchased for the future monastery cemetery. The brothers first built a temporary hospital and a small chapel. After further expansion in 1739 and the opening of the hospital, talk began about building a monastery church. The initiative for its construction was given by the prior P. Narcis Schön and the implementation was financially supported by the Lichtensteins. Princess Elizabeth donated 10,000 florins. Between 1751 and 1755, the Church of St. John of Nepomuk was built according to the designs of Antonio E. Martinelli. It was solemnly consecrated on October 5, 1755 by the consecrating bishop of Olomouc, Jan Karl Leopold of Scherffenberg. This is evidenced by the Latin inscription above the main entrance. Even after the consecration, work on the interior decoration continued. In 1756, the organ, oratory and side altar of St. John of God, the founder of the Order of Brothers of Mercy, were built. Only in 1766 was the decoration completed by Italian masters whose names have not been preserved. The vaults and walls of the church were painted with frescoes by František Antonín Sebastini, the sculptures are mainly the work of Josef Schubert and the carvings by František Hirnl.
Prostějov (Czech pronunciation: [ˈproscɛjof]; German: Proßnitz, Yiddish: פראסטיץ Prostitz) is a city in the Olomouc Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 44,000 inhabitants. Today the city is known for its fashion industry and AČR special forces unit 601. skss based there. The centre of the town is historically significant and is protected by law as urban monument zone.
The first historical mention of the village Prostějovice is from 1141. By the middle of the 13th century, it had developed into an important market village. At that time, German settlers were invited here, who established a new settlement on the site of today's TG Masaryk Square, to which the rights of the original settlement were transferred. On March 27, 1390, Prostějov was granted the right of the annual market thanks to the lords of Kravaře, which in fact became a town. In the Hussite period, the promising development slowed down as the city suffered delays on both sides; the insufficiently fortified Prostějov became easy prey for the troops of Margrave Albrecht and was burned down in 1431. The prosperity of the city was brought about by the establishment of the Jewish city and especially after a year 1490 more than a century-old government of the Pernštejn families, whose property became the town. In 1495, the city began the construction of stone walls with four gates with bastions. Between 1521 and 1538, the townspeople built a Renaissance town hall.
At the end of the 16th century, the city became the property of the Liechtensteins, which resulted in the stagnation of the city's development. In Prostejov the year 1527 printer Kaspar Aorga printed the first book on Moravia. During the Thirty Years' War, the town was devastated and in 1697 a fire broke out, killing the town hall, the school and the church. Then the city began to acquire a Baroque character. Around the middle of the 17th century, mainly thanks to local Jews, the food, textile and clothing industries developed rapidly, and in 1858 the first Czech ready-to-wear clothing industry was founded in Prostějov - the factory of the Mandla brothers, which attracted new inhabitants. In the 1960s, Prostějov was connected by rail with Brno and Olomouc. The 19th and 20th centuries changed the face of the city in the style of historicism and Art Nouveau. Since the 20s and especially 30s, dominating the construction becoming in Prostejov functionalism.
Moravia (Czech: Morava [ˈmorava]; German: Mähren) is a historical region in the east of the Czech Republic and one of three historical Czech lands, with Bohemia and Czech Silesia.
The medieval and early modern Margraviate of Moravia was a crown land of the Lands of the Bohemian Crown from 1348 to 1918, an imperial state of the Holy Roman Empire from 1004 to 1806, a crown land of the Austrian Empire from 1804 to 1867, and a part of Austria-Hungary from 1867 to 1918. Moravia was one of the five lands of Czechoslovakia founded in 1918. In 1928 it was merged with Czech Silesia, and then dissolved in 1948 during the abolition of the land system following the communist coup d'état.
Its area of 22,623.41 km2 is home to about 3.2 million of the Czech Republic's 10.8 million inhabitants. The people are historically named Moravians, a subgroup of Czechs, the other group being called Bohemians. The land takes its name from the Morava river, which runs from its north to south, being its principal watercourse. Moravia's largest city and historical capital is Brno. Before being sacked by the Swedish army during the Thirty Years' War, Olomouc served as the Moravian capital, and it is still the seat of the Archdiocese of Olomouc. Until the expulsions after 1945, significant parts of Moravia were German speaking." - info from Wikipedia.

Can any one tell me what this is....I drive by it every day, and this morning stopped to take the shot in the golden light.
I rolled the clock back to an earlier portrait shot taken when we arrived before I tracked up the snow. We returned for eDDie's "better light;" I don't have a problem with this light. I used three layers to pull it out and include those great reflections on the ditch and pond. Nice pool... no fish. It even shows the sculpting on the snow. No one could believe the number of gravel pits that ripped up farm land beyond view. I have recently been tied up in several other projects. I pounded a lot of effort into them. That might be easing up.
If I see other things of interest, I'll go shoot them as long as eDDie doesn't light out after me with a switch. He's gonna throttle me! I bet eDDie got some good shots before I tracked it all up; check his site. I buzzed all around Four Mile Farm and Valmont to shoot the remaining rail yard and the old stage stop in the snow.
I energized for the snow day and am still into my snow series, reveling in some actual area snow and recent snow day with eDDie. Since then we had yet another snow panic; over a foot was promised but was pinched that down 4 inches of wet snow that shrunk to 2 by morning. I personally sent the storm to Texas to quench their drought and now Houston is trying to sue me; I'm pointing the finger at the Kochs. Why can't Texas get on with their seceding from the union; I'd sign the petition! Snow in Colorado; who'da thunk it. What's going to happen to the ecosystem and environment next? Even the Ring of Fire is being resized!
Originally, this site must have been a ranch along the stage route and the Boulder Valley branch of the Union Pacific. Old farm implements are in the distance. There was haying here to support the stage station at Valmont. Was the Four Mile Farm rake originally horse drawn? Perhaps not. This does support the image of the area's transportation history though. I bet the old tractor is not that old.
The now disappearing agricultural town and travel stop of Valmont was just south of here; agriculture around Longmont also continued thrived. I suppose that the coal field connection just to the east had a role in early travel. Also the old stage route into Valmont and Boulder coursed through here. Ranches had to supply feed for the stage stop. See some of my other Valmont images. This must have been a busy route when the stage had to start competing with the new rail route. The Valmont stage station is nearby Four Mile Farm.
Vicente Casares
Vicente Casares es una localidad del Partido de Cañuelas, Provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Lleva ese nombre en homenaje a Vicente Lorenzo del Rosario Casares, fundador de la estancia “San Martín” y de la primera industria láctea de la Argentina, La Martona.
Cuenta con 787 habitantes (INDEC, 2010), lo que representa un incremento del 25% frente a los 629 habitantes (INDEC, 2001) del censo anterior.
El nombre "La Martona" deriva de "Marta", la fornida hermana de don Vicente y madre del escritor Adolfo Bioy Casares.
La fábrica –que aún se conserva frente a la estación ferroviaria de Vicente Casares, en el partido de Cañuelas– procesaba la leche proveniente de 52 tambos distribuidos en las 7 mil hectáreas de la estancia San Martín.
Su imagen característica era la cabeza estilizada de un gato, la marca que se utilizaba para herrar el ganado.
En 1886 Casares dio los primeros pasos mediante la producción de quesos, pero los resultados no fueron exitosos porque no existían buenos métodos de refrigeración.
Tres años más tarde surgió La Martona, con una idea fundamental, novedosa en el país: su proyecto consistía en organizar un sistema integrado de producción, que atendiera las tres etapas productivas: la agropecuaria, la industrial y la comercial.
En el aspecto productivo, La Martona se caracterizó por sus grandes avances tecnológicos. Desde 1890 utilizó papel sulfurizado para envasar la manteca (antes de eso se usaban trozos de tela). En 1893 inició las primeras exportaciones de este producto hacia Inglaterra.
En 1902 comenzó a producir dulce de leche en forma industrial siguiendo las recetas tradicionales de la colonia.
Hacia el año 1916 adquirió la primera desnatadora Westfalia que hubo en el país, traída desde Oelde, Alemania. En 1941 –antes que en Estados Unidos– implementó los camiones térmicos para recolectar la leche en los tambos.
En 1960 instaló una empaquetadora de manteca de alta velocidad; en 1961 introdujo el envase de cartón para la leche fluida; y en 1962 instaló la primera embotelladora en el país capaz de llenar y cerrar 12.000 botellas por hora. En los ‘70 desarrolló, en forma pionera, el yogur con colchón de frutas y el jugo de naranjas en botellón de vidrio.
El periodista francés Jules Hert, en una visita que realizó a Cañuelas en 1911, escribía: "Debo subrayar el hecho de que el establecimiento La Martona sobrepasa en el tratamiento higiénico de la leche a todos los de las capitales europeas, excepto Copenhague. La gran lechería Balle que distribuye a Berlín la mayor parte de la leche de consumo no llega a tal grado de perfección sino después de la del Sr. Casares".
Todos estos antecedentes propiciaron que en el año 1989 -a cien años de la creación de La Martona- la Honorable Cámara de Diputados de la Nación declarara por unanimidad a Cañuelas Cuna Nacional de la Industria Lechera (Res. 28/9/89). La fecha se recuerda cada 27 de noviembre.

Vicente Casares
Vicente Casares is a locality of the Party of Cañuelas, Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
It bears that name in tribute to Vicente Lorenzo del Rosario Casares, founder of the estancia "San Martín" and the first dairy industry of Argentina, La Martona.
It has 787 inhabitants (INDEC, 2010), which represents an increase of 25% compared to the 629 inhabitants (INDEC, 2001) of the previous census.
The name "La Martona" derives from "Marta", the fornida sister of Don Vicente and mother of the writer Adolfo Bioy Casares.
The factory - which is still conserved in front of the Vicente Casares railway station in the Cañuelas party - processed the milk from 52 dairies distributed on the 7,000 hectares of the San Martín estancia.
Its characteristic image was the stylized head of a cat, the mark that was used to iron cattle.
In 1886 Casares took the first steps by producing cheese, but the results were not successful because there were no good methods of refrigeration.
Three years later La Martona was born, with a fundamental idea, new in the country: its project was to organize an integrated production system, which would take care of the three productive stages: agricultural, industrial and commercial.
In the productive aspect, La Martona was characterized by its great technological advances. From 1890 he used sulfurized paper to package the butter (before that pieces of cloth were used). In 1893 began the first exports of this product towards England.
In 1902 began to produce dulce de leche in industrial form following the traditional recipes of the colony.
Towards the year 1916 acquired the first skimmer Westfalia that had in the country, brought from Oelde, Germany. In 1941 - before in the United States - it implemented the thermal trucks to collect milk in the tambos.
In 1960 he installed a high-speed butter packer; in 1961 he introduced the carton for fluid milk; and in 1962 installed the first bottler in the country capable of filling and closing 12,000 bottles per hour. In the 1970s he developed, in a pioneering way, the yogurt with fruit cushion and the juice of oranges in glass bottle.
The French journalist Jules Hert, in a visit he made to Cañuelas in 1911, wrote: "I must underline the fact that the La Martona establishment surpasses all the European capital cities except Copenhagen in the hygienic treatment of milk. Balle dairy which distributes most of consumer milk to Berlin does not reach such perfection as after that of Mr. Casares. "
All these antecedents led to the fact that in 1989, one hundred years after the creation of La Martona, the Honorable Chamber of Deputies of the Nation unanimously declared to Cañuelas the National Cradle of the Milk Industry (Res. 28/9/89). The date is remembered every 27 November.
The Avro Lancaster is a British four-engined Second World War heavy bomber designed and built by Avro for the Royal Air Force (RAF). It first saw active service with RAF Bomber Command in 1942 and, as the strategic bombing offensive over Europe gathered momentum, it was the central implement for the night-time bombing campaigns that followed. It became the main heavy bomber used by the RAF, the RCAF, and squadrons from other Commonwealth and European countries serving within the RAF, overshadowing its close contemporaries the Handley Page Halifax and Short Stirling. The "Lanc", as it was affectionately known, thus became one of the more famous and most successful of the Second World War night bombers, "delivering 608,612 long tons of bombs in 156,000 sorties." The Lancaster, an evolution of the troublesome Avro Manchester, was designed by Roy Chadwick and was powered by four Rolls-Royce Merlins, or, in one version, Bristol Hercules engines.
A long, unobstructed bomb bay meant that the Lancaster could take the largest bombs used by the RAF, including the 4,000 lb (1,800 kg), 8,000 lb (3,600 kg), and 12,000 lb (5,400 kg) blockbusters, loads often supplemented with smaller bombs or incendiaries. The versatility of the Lancaster was such that it was chosen to equip 617 Squadron and was modified to carry the Upkeep "Bouncing bomb" designed by Barnes Wallis for Operation Chastise, the attack on Germany Ruhr Valley dams. Although the Lancaster was primarily a night bomber, it excelled in many other roles, including daylight precision bombing: in the latter role some Lancasters were adapted to carry the 12,000 lb (5,400 kg) Tallboy and then the 22,000 lb (10,000 kg) Grand Slam earthquake bombs (also designed by Wallis).
In 1943, a Lancaster was converted to become an engine test bed for the Metropolitan-Vickers F.2 turbojet. Lancasters were later used to test other engines, including the Armstrong Siddeley Mamba and Rolls-Royce Dart turboprops, and the Avro Canada Orenda and STAL Dovern turbojets. Postwar, the Lancaster was supplanted as the RAF's main strategic bomber by the Avro Lincoln, a larger version of the Lancaster. The Lancaster took on the role of long range anti-submarine patrol aircraft (later supplanted by the Avro Shackleton) and air-sea rescue. It was also used for photo-reconnaissance and aerial mapping, as a flying tanker for aerial refuelling and as the Avro Lancastrian, a long-range, high-speed, transatlantic, passenger and postal delivery airliner. In March 1946, a Lancastrian of BSAA flew the first scheduled flight from the new London Heathrow Airport.
I really like my implementation of hydraulic adjustable suspension, I can't stop making renders with it in its lowest position.
Summer home for local financier and philanthropist Morton Plant . The mansion was built at the turn of the 20th century. It has panoramic views of Fishers Island and Long Island Sound and was designed by Plant’s wife Nellie, who had studied architecture at the Sorbonne in Paris, and was implemented by English architect Robert W. Gibson. The exterior was done almost entirely in the Tudor style, using granite quarried from the grounds in order to harmonize with the estate’s natural surroundings. The interior was a melange of several different styles, including Gothic, Baroque, Renaissance, Classical, and even Flemish. Materials used for the interior ranged from rich woods such as mahogany, oak, and walnut, to imported stone and metals such as onyx, marble, sandstone, bronze, and iron. A two-story marble fireplace was the focal point of the house. In the 1960's, the estate was turned over to the University of Connecticut for use as a branch campus. The Avery Point campus was established on the property in 1967.
The Setep implement was used during the ceremony of the Opening of the Mouth, giving back to the deceased energy and vitality, before placing the mummy in the tomb.

This shot of the horse-drawn plow is a test using the 24-70mm Nano-coated Nikkor zoom as opposed to the old manual 55mm Micro-Nikkor. The implements stand on the path to the barn. Days of duty are gone. I'd like to see some of the horse-drawn gear in operation at the agricultural museum.
The red Dickens barn in the background was moved here from the Dickens farm that became Longmont's FAA property. I wanted to catch the spirit of the McIntosh/Lohr Museum. William Henry Dickens was the extra-industrious side of the family. The other side of the family, cousins, were the Parker family out in Brown's Park, north-east Colorado. They were not so industrious and one changed his name to an alias to protect the family name.
I gained new interest in the Dickens branch of the family when I did some research and found William H. was the grandson of Charles Dickens, English author. I have still been unable to link him to his cousin, Leroy Parker, in Colorado's northwest in the day. A few know the Parker son by his stage name - see comments. Parker must have been related to Flynn or Trumpf. At least Mueller is giving Flynn violin and singing lessons while the Russian Mafia is measuring Trump's kneecaps.
The series slipped over to recent takes at Mac, as long as I have a long way to go on the genealogy, scanning, retouching and documenting journey that has cost me months so far, sheesh. I recently took more genealogy pix. I traveled out here just to shoot this but got tied into the fall cleanup. I even had to clean up the mess I made scrunching to get this shot..
The Ag Museum is still open for first Saturdays through the winter. I have some nice snow job shots last winter. It's probably time for a leisurely stroll down to Mac Lake. I loaded up with autumn captures this year in general and accessed the only snow Saturday last winter. As always, it's a great spot for exercise and access to Mac Lake. There is always something more at Mcintosh but I won't search today. I apparently can't find everything in a single pass. I like the natural patina of the rusting tones as they were. There is great diversity in those tones.
Sometimes I come up with an idea for a photo, implement and get a satisfactory result, which I often will post to Flickr. Usually though I do not stop trying that idea after the initial success, because even if a do not produce a "better" image with subsequent efforts, I will at least produce different images. This is the result of a second or third attempt, I honestly do not remember which. But I start in the middle...
Once in a while I like using a double exposure technique where the first image is taken perfectly in focus and a second exposure is made over that completely out of focus. If everything works out, it can have a lovely surreal or otherworldly effect, as seen here and here. Sometimes I just do it because I have seen a particular landscape so many times that I just want to try something new, such as here with Narada Falls. And sometimes surprisingly the effect is so slight as to hardly be noticeable at all, yet still producing a dramatically different image than a single exposure would have granted, such as these two shots. Regardless, it is a fun, and surprising (in its results) way of photographing a familiar landscape. Easy to do with both film and digital cameras, a way to escape the bounds of the box and do something different with your camera, which is what I am constantly trying to do, no matter which camera I have happened to pick up. I like finding ways to make these machines work for me, and not vice versa. But now I stray...
So sometime this past April I was out at the Woodburn Tulip Festival, which happens to border a giant hazelnut grove. Sometimes I enjoy the groves more than the fields, especially once noon rolls around and the fields are swarming with people. I can only handle so many parents ignoring the no pick signs while they happily wave at their children mowing down a row of tulips single-handedly. In contrast, these groves, while only a couple of minutes away, and in plain sight of the fields are almost always completely deserted. So I wandered over one day, and one thing led to another, and before I knew it I had made some double exposed shots of these groves. I was fairly satisfied with at least one of the pictures and posted it here. But then I ended up back out there, and never one to let initial successes dampen my sense of further exploration, tried again, this time with my Pentax 67. Those familiar with the camera probably wonder how I pulled this off as the camera does not allow double exposures. Very true. In this case I actually made two exposures on slide film, each a stop over exposed so the slides would be a bit lighter, then layered them together and scanned them in as a single slide. The nifty thing with this method is you can actually position the two slides independently of one another, and believe me, this can have a dramatic result on the final effect. So then I came away with this shot, which I like better than the original, but did not get around to posting again until tonight.
Phew, and that is the story behind this one. This is one that really gains something viewed large by the way. Enjoy.

This space implements a fantastic modern design. It has a bay window and French door that tie in very well with the selected finishes, both for the walls and gypsum ceiling. The whole look is amazingly complemented by the timber flooring. The bay windows and French doors stand out architecturally and also help to draw in a lot of natural light. The heavy drapery is boxed to house the curtain tracks. It's a very inviting space.

The implementation of the final phase of the Bee Network has resulted in the end of the Magicbus operations after many years. A variety of older double deckers were utilised on these routes which ran along the busy student corridors. Here Stagecoach Manchester Dennis Trident / Alexander 17634 - W634 RND is pictured operating Part Route 142 to Withington with an East Lancs bodied sister behind.
Visited a garden in Sussex on my birthday. They had a mock up of a Victorian potting shed with lots of gardening implements.. Perfect for the theme!!
It has been well over a year since Malaysia Airlines implemented one of its biggest changes to its twice daily flights between London Heathrow and their hub at Kuala Lumpur.
Since 2012, Malaysia Airlines replaced the venerable Boeing 747-400s on their twice daily flight with Airbus A380s. Whilst the Airbus A380s was a step-up in quality, the airline was slowly struggling financially which got worse after 2014. In the following years, Malaysia Airlines have cut major international flights with London Heathrow their only long-haul flight still in operation.
Since 15th January 2018, MH1/4 was duly converted over from Airbus A380 to Airbus A350-900 operation. MH2/3 remains Airbus A380 operated until more Airbus A350-900's are delivered, with that flight due to be converted from 5th March 2018. For the S18 schedule, MH2/3 will go back over to Airbus A380 operation between 20th July 2018 until 3rd September 2018, replacing Airbus A350-900 operation.
For the W18 and S19 schedules, Airbus A350-900s have been continually operating the twice daily flights between London Heathrow and Kuala Lumpur. The airline no longer sells First Class, with their previous First Class suites now sold as Business Suite Class.
Currently, Malaysia Airlines operates 6 Airbus A350s, all of which are Airbus A350-900s.

Battersea Power Station is a decommissioned coal-fired power station located on the south bank of the River Thames, in Nine Elms, Battersea, an inner-city district of South West London.
It comprises two individual power stations, built in two stages in the form of a single building. Battersea A Power Station was built in the 1930s, with Battersea B Power Station to the east in the 1950s. The two stations were built to a nearly identical design, providing the long-recognized four-chimney layout. The station ceased generating electricity in 1983, but over the past 50 years it has become one of the best known landmarks in London and is Grade II listed.
The station's celebrity owes much to numerous popular culture references, which include the cover art of Pink Floyd's 1977 album Animals and its appearance in the 1965 Beatles' film Help!
The station is one of the largest brick buildings in the world and is notable for its original, lavish Art Deco interior fittings and decor. The building has remained largely unused since its closure, and the condition of the structure has been described as "very bad" by English Heritage, which included it in its Heritage at Risk Register. The site was also listed on the 2004 World Monuments Watch by the World Monuments Fund.
Since the station's closure, numerous redevelopment plans were drawn up from successive site owners. In 2004, when a redevelopment project by Parkview International stalled, the site was sold to the administrators of Irish company Real Estate Opportunities (REO), who bought it for £400 million in November 2006 with plans to refurbish the station for public use and build 3,400 homes across the site. This plan fell through due to REO's debt being called in by the state-owned banks of the UK and Ireland. The site was put up for sale in December 2011 through commercial estate agent Knight Frank. It has received interest from a variety of overseas consortia, most seeking to demolish or partly demolish the structure. The combination of an existing debt burden of some £750 million, the need to make a £200 million contribution to a proposed extension to the London Underground, requirements to fund conservation of the derelict power station shell, and the presence of a waste transfer station and cement plant on the river frontage made commercial development of the site a significant challenge.
In 2012, administrators Ernst & Young entered into an exclusivity agreement with Malaysia's SP Setia and Sime Darby to develop the site. The £400 million sale was completed in September 2012, and the redevelopment intends to implement the Rafael Vinoly design, which had gained planning consent from Wandsworth Council in 2011. In January 2013, the first residential apartments went on sale. Construction on Phase 1 was commenced in 2013. Apple will locate its new London headquarters at Battersea Power Station, becoming the largest office tenant with 1,400 staff across six floors in the central boiler house.
