Hier lasse ich den Titel für beide Begriffe stehen.
Shot through the windshield, while passing by on the expressway. All the while burning fossil fuel ourselves...
In The Netherlands, about 7 millions homes are still being heated with natural gas, the burning of which unfortunately not only heats our homes but also our planet.
Wyoming Village Historic District is organized much like a New England village around a small triangular green. The T-shaped district includes approximately seventy structures along the two principal village thoroughfares: Main and Academy Streets.[2]
The district boundaries are drawn to include the heart of the community where the 1838 Wyoming Inn (#1 S. Academy Street), the turn-of-the century bank (#5 S. Academy) a series of stores, the village "Fire Tower" (#10 Tower Road) and the Presbyterian Church (#1 N. Academy St.) are clustered around the triangular green.[2]
The village nickname is "The Gaslight Village" because it is lit day and night by 30 gas lamps which use natural gas drawn from near-by shallow gas pockets under a 99-year contract

Eternal Flames Waterfalls located in Orchard Park near Hamburg, NY. Ever since I noticed David's posting of this location, I have been itching to get here.
Online, it says a half mile hike to get here, but can tell you, it felt longer. It was raining when I took this photo and think of how cool this would be to take a photo in the late evening.
A small grotto at the waterfall's base emits natural gas, which can be lit to produce a small flame. This flame is visible nearly year round, although it can be extinguished and must occasionally be re-lit.

NS 3528 found its way back into Kankakee after being taken off of the B14 pool. Here is the former LNG experiment SD40-2 working DOW Chemical in Kankakee, IL on a Thursday evening.
Heat waves distort the view of the moon rising over this gas fired power plant. I did not know the moon would rise right over the smoke stack and could not see the heat waves coming out of the stack until the light of the moon illuminated them.
Frederic Back parc in Montreal was built over a landfill site. These spheres are used to capture the methane emitted by the decomposing garbage below.
This shows the destruction of the smoke stack on the BYU campus. Much of the heating for the campus was done by coal but that has now been replaced by natural gas so the smoke stack had to go. To bring it down, a kind of elevator was attached to the sides and then workers went up and knocked the bricks of the stack down into the center. The cloud coming out of the stack in this photo is dust caused by the falling bricks. Now the stack is nothing but a pile of bricks.

Aerial view of the Bacton Gas Terminal and the sweeping north Norfolk coastline, photographed on a bright summer day. The image looks south over the shoreline towards Mundesley, with the cliffs of Trimingham and Cromer fading into the distance. The broad band of golden sand along this stretch is one of the most dynamic and rapidly changing coastal landscapes in eastern England.
The Bacton Gas Terminal complex dominates the centre of the frame. Development here began in the late 1960s, with major expansions through the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s as successive North Sea fields came online. At its largest, the site consisted of several adjacent terminals operated by different companies, including Shell, Perenco, ENI, Britannia / ConocoPhillips, and National Grid. Gas arrives here via subsea pipelines from the southern North Sea, including the Leman, Indefatigable, Sean, Vulcan, Clipper, and Shearwater systems, and historically also via the BBL interconnector from the Netherlands.
Bacton’s importance within the UK’s energy infrastructure cannot be overstated. The site connects directly into the National Transmission System, and at peak flow has been capable of supplying around one-third of the UK’s gas demand, depending on market conditions and the decline of older offshore fields. Facilities on site include reception plants, slug catchers, drying and metering systems, high-capacity compression, blending modules, and large safety and emergency flare stacks. Over the decades it has been a critical entry point for both domestic production and imported continental gas.
In front of the terminal lies one of Norfolk’s most vulnerable coastlines. Erosion rates here have long been among the highest in the county, with the historic dune and cliff systems retreating under the combined pressures of North Sea storms, rising sea levels and changing sediment patterns. In 2019, a major £22 million sandscaping project was completed along the Bacton–Walcott frontage, inspired by Dutch “Building with Nature” methods. Around 1.8 million cubic metres of sand were deposited to create a wide, gently sloping beach designed to absorb wave energy and delay erosion. The broad sandy margin visible in this photograph is part of that engineered buffer, which continues to reshape with tides and storms.
Just inland sits a patchwork of north-east Norfolk farmland, with classic arable rotations of barley, wheat and sugar beet. The layout of the fields still reflects older parish boundaries and the pattern of small estate farms that once dominated the area. To the south, the clifftop settlement of Mundesley is recognisable with its spread of houses, holiday parks and the distinctive planned grid of modern caravan sites that cluster near the shoreline. The parish churches of Mundesley and Paston sit among the rooftops and trees.
Offshore on the horizon, faint rows of wind turbines mark the outer edge of the Sheringham Shoal and Dudgeon offshore wind farms, part of the increasingly complex energy landscape that surrounds this part of the coast.
A coastline where national energy infrastructure, vulnerable geology, coastal-engineering experiments, farming, and holiday villages all sit tightly together between the North Sea and the Norfolk countryside.

This image was produced for the Macro Mondays theme of Bottoms Up. It is an image of the underside of a gas burner from a domestic cooker. Even though it is not attached to the cooker the gas burner is still burning with the characteristic natural gas blue flame. Taken with Fuji XT2 fitted with a Samsung 100mm f2.8 macro lens. Elinchrom studio lighting.
Aerial view of a large oil and natural gas field in southwestern Kern County, California.
This field is part of the vast Midway-Sunset oil field, the largest in California and the third largest in the United States. First discovered in 1894, the Midway-Sunset oil field has so far produced over 3 billion barrels of oil and still holds more than 500 million barrels in reserve.
Steam has been used to extract the oil here for decades, and there are several cogeneration plants that burn the field's abundant natural gas to create stream which is used for both oil extraction and to generate electricity which is then sold to the power grid.

Macro image taken for this week's Macro Mondays theme: The Blues
HMM and Happy Blue Monday to everyone. Wishing you all a great week ahead.
Welcome to Pennsylvania's farmland. In the foreground, a completed well being flared, with over 80 tankers of toxic waste. In the valley to the right in the distance is another flare, on another active Marcellus site, which is being serviced by Halliburton. In the distance on the hill is another well being drilled, the drill rig lit up in the twilight.
All of this, in the middle of corn fields and next to dairy cows.
NS 3528 the former BN LNG test unit from the early 90’s is seen here in some fresh Norfolk Southern paint that it acquired in 2014. This unit was a test bed for the Burlington Northern as a Natural Gas unit. This specific SD40-2 is unique with it’s flared radiators. NS acquired this unique unit from HLCX in late 2013. All that to say, here is the NS train from Calumet arriving at the Kankakee Yard passing the former Conrail G head that is positioned just East of the yard.
Taken early in the morning (8:14 AM) The Place is covered with these things.

Halliburton was "contracted" to service this Fortuna energy site where the managers working there are from Canada and wear Talisman Energy hard hats.
BNSF 9100 and BNSF 9131 (a former LNG test unit) lead a southbound coal train under Baptist Rd near Monument, CO.
Out for one of our periodic walks through downtown Grimsby, Ontario, I spotted some yellow marker paint indicating an underground services location activity had taken place and, in this case, had identified natural gas services lines. At one point a pair of rusty, orange circular controls worked to create a bit of an abstract design with the yellow paint and the black textured asphalt. - JW
