VIENA (Áustria): Power at Sea de Rudolf Weyr.
Power at Sea é uma escultura criada pelo artista austríaco Rudolf Weyr em 1894. Ela está localizada na praça Michaelerplatz, em frente à entrada principal do Palácio de Hofburg, em Viena. A escultura representa quatro figuras alegóricas que simbolizam o poder naval do Império Austro-Húngaro: um tritão com um tridente, uma ninfa com uma concha, um leão-marinho e um cavalo-marinho. As figuras na fonte são feitas de mármore, enquanto as rochas sobre as quais se encontram são feitas de conglomerado Lindabrunn. A obra é uma das quatro esculturas que adornam as fontes da praça, que foram projetadas pelo arquiteto Friedrich von Schmidt.
Stadsgraanzuiger No19 Getreideheber Infos*
Der Weltweit einzige noch Existierende Dampf-Getreideheber.
Das Prinzip ist einfach und doch unvorstellbar, und funktioniert wie ein Staubsauger.
Das MAS (MUSEUM AM STROM) und das Maritime Museum Rotterdam haben für dieses besondere Schiff eine Art Plan für ein geteiltes Sorgerecht erarbeitet.
Der Getreideheber steht unter gemeinsamer Mittelverwaltung und legt eine Hälfte der Zeit in Antwerpen und die andere Hälfte in Rotterdam an.
Aber, nach einer 92-jährigen Karriere fängt selbst so eine großartige Maschine wie der Getreideheber an, einige Schwächen zu zeigen.
Sowohl der Ponton, der Turm als auch die Elektronik müssen restauriert werden, um das Ganze dauerhaft und für die Zukunft funktionsfähig zu halten.
Deswegen wird der Getreideheber voraussichtlich zwei Jahre in Rotterdam bleiben, bevor er wieder nach Antwerpen kommt.

Grain lifter 19 Infos*
The principle is simple yet unimaginable, and works like a vacuum cleaner.
The World's only surviving steam grain lifter.
The MAS (MUSEUM AM STROM) and the Maritime Museum Rotterdam have developed a kind of plan for shared custody for this particular ship.
The cereal lifter is under joint management and spends half of its time in Antwerp and the other half in Rotterdam.
But, after a 92-year career, even such a great machine as the grain lifter is starting to show some weaknesses.
Both the pontoon, the tower and the electronics need to be restored to keep the whole thing permanent and functional for the future.
For this reason, the grain lifter is expected to stay in Rotterdam for two years before coming back to Antwerp.

Coal fired power plant, two blocks with 757 MW in total. One block now in demolition/deconstruction.
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.

This image is of the Power Plant on the University of Kansas campus. As the campus grew the number of buildings requiring heat and electricity called for increased production of energy. To meet these needs a new plant was built in 1922 at a cost of $290,000. The building was the fifth power plant constructed at KU, and similar in design to many public structures in the 1920's.
Since the mid 1950s the University has purchased electricity instead of producing it with steam. Water is converted to steam beneath the structure and sent through steam tunnels on campus, some dating to the 1880's.
A 252-foot smokestack, which stood for over sixty years, was replaced by two smaller stacks (seen in this photo) in 1987. The steam whistle remains, a KU tradition since 1912.
We string wires mounted on massive but spindly looking towers to transmit our power but the sun has to power to light an entire world. I sometimes feel that my generation (baby boomer) as a whole lack humility and do not understand that we are a part of nature not its master.

The physical presence of Shoreham seemed the same when I took this shot on October 7, 1990 but it looked far from the SOO I was used to. We have 325 sitting with stacks capped with MILW 2009 resting behind. Off to the left is either 701 or 705 one of the pair of GP30's WC didn't want, both had been out of service since early-mid 1987. To the right of 2009's rear end you can make out one of the EMD leasing SD35's commonly called "bricks" by local fans resting in the roundhouse and just in the frame to the right is one of a couple ex BN SD45's that SOO had bought for parts but then upon finding them in better condition then expected returned them to service for relatively short while due to a power shortage.

Skógafoss is one of the largest and well known falls in Iceland, it's sheer power as it crashes over the sea cliffs has to be seen to be appreciated, if you walk anywhere near toward the bottom of it it's like being in an industrial power shower, and the noise is truly incredible.
The one downside of this place is such is its beauty it's can get very busy, during the day coaches are pulling in all the time with tourists eager to get their selfie sticks out and generally run all over the place like out of control ants. This was the case on this day, I was over here with a few friends and I simply couldn't get the shot I wanted due to rain and the aforementioned ant swarm... they all wanted to go and do a snow mobile tour over the glacier and were getting a bit impatient with my requests to spend a long time at each location which to be honest if you aren't a photographer I totally get! So I told them to leave me here for 5 hours while they went and did that and then come back and find me later....
5 hours may seem a long time but that's 5 hours I've got to get my shots and also to have a good explore of the area well past the top of the falls.
The time went in no time and I got several shots I liked with hardly anyone around (I've included a single 'ant' for scale here), plus some others in locations rarely shot way back along the River Skoga.
I can't believe how long ago this was now, and that I've never posted it up here.

The area around Dungenes Power Station is a Nature Reserve that is classed as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and is home to many rare and endangered species. An unusual feature of this reserve is the continuous crackling of the high voltage pylons that run overhead from Dungeness Power Station back inland. Today, the haze from the moist air and unusual heat make the pylons fade off in the distance. A little point worthy of note… The glass insulators on the left hand set of pylons are green, while the ones on the right are yellow.
