Thank you very much for your comments and faves, regretfully, I am finding it increasingly difficult to reply to your comments, because of my very limited time on the internet, due to constant power interruptions in South Africa. I do read and appreciate every one of them, however! Thanks again!!

I do usually like to move around when shooting on the embankment (apart from my Canary Whatf shots but that's because I'm taking drone shots too ;-) but once I found this viewpoint I just took shot after shot, long exposure after another and as such I have such a haul, all different but of the same iconic London landmark.
Abandoned power plant of a former steelworks - The housing of the largest and newest turbine there is painted blue, hence the name Blue Power Plant.
Escher Wyss+Oerlikon steam turbine, 75 MW.
Former power plant, which operated from 1911-2001. The following machines can be seen here (from foreground to background):
1) STAL Ljungström turbine with 2 STAL generators
2) CEB turbine with GANZ-BUDAPEST alternator (1924)
3) Turbine with BBC turbo alternator (1925)
4) ESCHER-WYSS turbine with ACEC alternator (1928)
Total capacity of the plant was 56 MW.
……A little psychedelic and probably more suited for Sliders Sunday but quite pretty I thought? A result of ‘playtime’ with Colour Efex Pro4 - not used this plug-in much but enjoyed the play. BTW, this was a shot of the Clematis behind our garage (Jill thought it was wallpaper!!).

Generally the ore trains from Tilden to Sault Ste. Marie run about 40-50 loads a day but in the spring they can run longer if the boats are having trouble with ice and the stock pile at the steel mill falls to a low level. This OTIAC has 90 loads on April 22, 2000 and is seen at Trout Lake with 6651, 2051, 2555 and 583 providing the power.
Sorry, not sorry for posting another shot from Tuesday afternoon. This is obviously a composite as I love having the flat water and then the sky frozen, especially when it is providing colours like this. Have a couple more to come but might drip feed these later.

15 MW STAL-Ljungström turbine with 2 STAL generators (15MW)
STAL means "Svenska Turbinfabriks Aktiebolaget Ljungström", Finspong - Sweden"
Winter
Normally a death trap in the warmer months., with slippy moss covered rocks making crossing the water. tricky. The cold weather has killed off a lot of the moss and the rocks now have more of an orange tint. One of those locations that looks great all year round.
Force of Nature - Steam Rocket Bike
Steam Rocket Bike
Steam Rocket Bike
'Force of Nature' is a steam powered 'Rocket' motorcycle built for drag racing, record breaking, exhibitions and events. It uses the latent energy of super-heated pressurised water released through De laval nozzles, where it turns to steam and creates the thrust to propel the bike forwards.
The design brief was to create a Rocket bike like no other: Build quality to rival THE BEST, as well as unique green credentials. No proprietary motorcycle parts were to be used unless they were deemed un-improvable! The idea was to build a steam powered Rocket bike with a potential speed of 200+mph, which had never been achieved before.
Chief designer and engineer Graham Sykes has been involved in straight-line motorsport since 1979. Graham has worked on many prestigious projects including six years as race engineer for Vauxhall's championship winning British and European Touring Car Team, engineer and key team member for the 'Firestorm' jet powered dragster and is currently part of the engineering team working on '52 Express', a world land speed record motorcycle.

Morro Bay Power plant is a steam plant and largest of its kind here. It stopped electricity production in 2014. The towers are planned for removal in couple of years.
66768 heads west across Keadby Bridge, passing the power station under the process of reconstruction. Very much a grab shot as this train rumbled across as we walked away from the swing bridge box.
The spots on the water indicate that despite the blue sky in the background it was actually raining at this point.
