A towering windmill stands tall against a moody, overcast sky, symbolizing the balance between nature and technology. The dramatic clouds add depth, while the sleek turbine blades capture the essence of clean, renewable energy. This image reflects sustainability, modern engineering, and the power of wind harnessed for a greener future.
Last hours of coal and oil-fired power generation before Didcot A Power Station closes. Gas-powered Didcot B continues, but does not use the cooling towers. The last of the steam before shut-down the next day.
EXPLORE - thanks all! Strangely, this other shot is getting a lot more hits:

Nottingham – Eastcroft Depot, rail yards and incinerator – full Flickr description
This aerial view captures the industrial and infrastructure heart of Nottingham, just east of the city centre. Dominating the frame is the Eastcroft Depot and the waste-to-energy incinerator, easily identified by its tall chimney stack. The facility processes much of the city’s refuse and has been operating since the 1970s, with modern extensions added over time to generate heat and electricity.
In the lower centre are the Nottingham City Council vehicle depots, with rows of refuse trucks, gritters and maintenance vehicles clearly visible. The old brick depot buildings and workshops still stand, mixed with newer warehouses and logistics sheds.
To the left of the incinerator lies the Nottingham rail maintenance and stabling area, part of the East Midlands Railway network. Multiple sidings, maintenance sheds and rolling stock units are visible, including yellow engineering vehicles and passenger carriages. These yards serve the nearby main station and are essential for daily operations across the region.
The railway line curves diagonally across the frame toward the top left, passing under the road bridge on its way toward the city centre. Adjacent to the railway are some surviving Victorian red-brick industrial buildings and cleared plots awaiting redevelopment — evidence of how this part of Nottingham has been reshaped over time.
On the upper half of the image the industrial layout gives way to a patchwork of residential streets, with rows of terraced housing typical of the late 19th century. Small parks and tree-lined streets sit between them, with signs of gradual regeneration and infill housing. Main roads then sweep outwards toward trading estates, warehouses and commercial units to the right-hand side.
This photograph reveals a key transitional zone in Nottingham — industry, transport infrastructure, utilities, municipal services and residential neighbourhoods all meeting in one place. From waste-to-energy power generation and rail maintenance to 19th-century terraces and modern logistics, this area is a vital but often unseen part of how the city functions day to day.
Found myself wide awake at about 3 am and decided to go back to the Altamont Pass wind farms. The moon wasn't full but it was still putting out enough light. I intended to go back and catch some sleep after shooting under moonlight then I saw these silhouettes against the early morning sky so had to stay and shoot.
This water wheel was brought from Galway, New York to the town of Arietta, in New York's Adirondack mountains to provide electrical power for a hotel called Avery's Inn. Unfortunately the wheel only provided 95 amps of electricity instead of the required 120 so the wheel was relieved of its duties and sits at its site yet today and rusts.

Scattered clouds and snow showers dotted the Wyoming landscape a few days ago (11-6-2018) surrounding the Seven Mile Wind Farm between Hanna and Medicine Bow. I spent the past week hauling the hubs down from Casper to the wind farm while other trucks haul blades and cells, all in preparation to retrofit the towers throughout the installation. Winter has a foot in the door now, for it has been cold and windy with several light snows since my arrival. I left the obvious distortion in place, for it seemed to lend a more dramatic feel the the images than making the corrections.

Metropolitan-Vickers were one of the major UK electrical manufacturers and were based at Trafford Park in Manchester. As the advert notes they were part of the AEI Group that for many years although it included M-V and British Thomson Houston effectively allowed both concerns to compete for business.
This fine advert, in the 1956 special issue of The Engineer, effectively looks down on to the cooling towers of a electricity generating station along with a list of equipment manufactured by M-V. At the time the UK was, under the nationalised electricity industry, in the midst of a massive construction programme of power stations to both replace outdated generating stations and building new, larger stations to cope with the increasing demands of both industrial and domestic users.
The artwork is sadly uncredited - a shame as it is of that 'heroic' period.
Another brand new pano created this evening in my digi darkroom.

This scene is located just outside Palm Springs in California. I pulled up along the highway to capture the wind turbines which seemed to go on forever. There are soooo many :)
Southern Shorthaul Railroad's Streamliners B61, GM27, S317, GM10 and S302 trundle their consist of empty coal wagons past the now de-commissioned Port Augusta power station with #4578 coal wagon transfer from Port Augusta, SA to Lithgow in New South Wales.
A floating power generator anchored in the Port of Nouméa harbour.
As of 06 January 2023 Orhan Bey is supplying SLN-Eramet Doniambo ferronickel production unit Nouméa, New Caledonia with electricity.
The plant owned by Karadeniz Powership Co., Istanbul, Turkey can generate 203 MW and was built in August 2013 by Sedef Shipyard in Tuzla, Istanbul.
The floating electricity generating plant named Orhan Bey replaced a 50-year-old plant that supplied The Nickel Society (SNL) Nouméa facility.
The power ship is a special purpose power plant installed to serve as a power generating resource.
The ship is the first of its kind in the south Pacific and it arrived in New Caledonia 25 August 2022.
The power plant is operated by Turkish and New Caledonian technicians.
The plant floats in the water near the nickel factory in Doniambo, Noumea.
The plant emits 30 percent less C02 and emits less sulphur dioxide emissions and is quieter in operation than the old plant.
Karpowership is an enterprise of Turkish and German governments and the first business to make ships of this type.
The power ship was built to supply power to Lebanon in 2013. The contract expired September 2021 when Électricité du Liban owed Karpowership overdue payments in excess of $100 million. Powership stopped its Lebanon supplies 01 October 2021.

The Scottish Municipal Annual was issued 'under the patronage' of various Scottish local government associations and institutions and it was aimed to increase knowledge as to the 'special features, civic and industrial, of the ancient Burghs and Counties of Scotland'. It lists many councils, government agencies and other institutions and carries numerous advertisements for companies associated with municipal 'requirements' such as building materials, professional services, manufacturers and suppliers.
In this, the 1951 edition, an advert for the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board that had been set up in 1943, in advance of the nationalisation of the UK's power generation, distribution and supply industry in 1948 to take account of the specific requirements of the often remote areas of the Highlands and North of Scotland where the use of hydro-electric supply was feasible. The Board survived in national ownership until 1990.
Upstream from the Falls, a weir extends out into the Niagara River, presumably to help draw water into the intake for a power generating station
