Ferrybridge C Power Station, Ferrybridge, West Yorkshire
This is Ferrybridge C Power station, a coal fuelled power station in West Yorkshire. I have always wanted to visit this power station, infact any power station as I had never visited one before so when I met up with Mark Hepples last weekend we drove here as I had a few hours before I had to head back South. The conditions were great for the long exposure image I had in mind, the only thing I was disappointed with was the lack of steam coming out of the cooling towers. I suppose we were there on a Sunday and it was after everyone had make their breakfast and also with the weather being that bit warmer and lighter means that people don't have to use as much power. It was almost like it was just ticking over unlike its cousin few miles away, Eggborough power station was pumping out the steam but sadly we didn't have time to visit that one, maybe Eggborough was doing all the work.
I have gone for a very severe crop on this image as I really wanted to emphasise the towers and the sky, really trying to help give the viewer a sense of scale and proportion. In the original I have the River Aire in the lower part of the image and in a future upload I will include this for you. Also one thing I did struggle with in the post production was trying to bring out the detailing on the steam coming out of the cooling towers. You can see it on a couple of the towers but not all, mainly because its blended in with the tones of the sky. I think my next visit will be in Winter when its much cooler and it will be working harder which will give better steam plumes but overall I really like this image.
On a separate note, I decided to get my sensor cleaned at Fixation in Vauxhall, London. I know, most of you will be tutting at me or calling me a wimp for not doing it myself ;-). I just didn't wanted to risk doing it myself on my main camera with the risk of breaking it, I am going to practice first on my old camera.
Hope you all had a great weekend and have a good Monday.

Information
The Ferrybridge power stations refers to a series of three coal-fired power stations situated on the River Aire in West Yorkshire, England. The first station on the site, Ferrybridge A power station, was constructed in the mid-1920s, and was closed as the second station, Ferrybridge B power station, was brought into operation in the 1950s. The A station has been retained since it closed. In the 1960s, Ferrybridge C power station was opened with a generating capacity of 2000 megawatts, which at the time was the largest of any power station in the UK. The B and C stations operated together until the B station's closure in the 1990s. The B station has since been demolished.
Ferrybridge C power station is currently the only power station operating on the site. Since 2004 is operated by SSE plc. It is capable of co-firing biomass and is currently being fitted with Flue Gas Desulphurisation (FGD) plant. There are plans to build a fourth, D station on the site.
On 1 November 1965, three of the cooling towers collapsed due to vibrations in 85 mph winds. Although the structures had been built to withstand higher wind speeds, the design only considered average wind speeds over one minute and neglected shorter gusts. Furthermore, the grouped shape of the cooling towers meant that westerly winds were funnelled into the towers themselves, creating a vortex. Three out of the original eight cooling towers were destroyed and the remaining five were severely damaged. The towers were rebuilt and all eight cooling towers were strengthened to tolerate adverse weather conditions. Following the accident, it was expected that the station would not be opened for some time after the scheduled date. However it was possible to connect one of the remaining towers to the first completed generating set and the station began generating soon after the expected date. The reconstruction of the destroyed towers began in April 1966. The station first fed electricity into the National Grid on 27 February 1966. It was the first 2000 MW power station in Europe.

found this in a vintage car & truck bone yard..the owner was kind enough to let me gets some shots of his wonderful old vechicles !
During the late 1980s I lived in Coventry and quite often saw electric freight locos stabled in the siding just to the west of the station. 85016 was nearing the end of its career by this stage, but was still looking pretty smart on 19th June 1988.

we ordered a baked potatoe but wouldn't want any dressings. but the software of the ordering system wouldn't provide that, so hidden in some subsubnavigation there was "potatoe, with no options". still sounds odd to me.
