A prime parking lot on ASU campus, next to the sports stadiums, and now providing shade for tailgate parties. ASU meets about 35% of its electricity needs with solar panels on campus.
As a landscapephotographer I usually try to find a beautiful vista or nice details in our ever changing environment. This time I'll show you something different. I let you be the judge if it's beautiful or not...
Everyday I pass by this 35 hectare of (former) rural area alongside the highway on my way to work. For months contractors had been busy erecting 145.000 solar-panels. Finally there were so much panels that it is difficult to imagine how the landscape had look like. It was a panel-galore..
I found a good viewing point so I could take this image. The pre-sunrise colour in the sky adds a apocalyptic mood to this sci-fi landscape. Forget about our tulip-fields or grazing cows in the green fields: This is gonna be our future Holland (2020 AC).
Cheers!

“This is Surveyor III as seen by Apollo 12 astronauts launched from the Kennedy Space Center on November 14, 1969. Surveyor III, launched from Cape Kennedy on April 17, 1967 made a soft landing on the Moon’s Ocean of Storms on April 19, 1967. Details of the crater’s western wall are obscured by the brilliant rays of the rising sun. Portions of the Surveyor were removed by Astronauts Charles Conrad and Alan Bean and returned to Earth for study.”
In this photograph, taken by Alan Bean, Surveyor III's no. 2 footpad, upon which the the soil clod was deposited by the sampler arm, is facing toward Bean. In fact, the clod can be seen as the darkened area atop the right side of the footpad, along with evidence of the trenches dug by the sampler, also seen as the darkened/shadowed regolith to the right of the footpad.
This is a close-up photo of the reflection of trees in the small solar panel that charges a string of LED lights.
Seeing the entire roof covered in solar panels of this beautiful home & garden on Bowen Island BC feels a bit overwhelming despite the overall and admirable efficiency they provide.
Cropping the photo emphasizes the architectural detail in a way that takes out the overwhelm and allows focus on the geometric beauty present (IMHO). ;-)

Pigeon Key is a small island containing the historic district of Pigeon Key, Florida. The 5-acre (2.0-hectare) island is home to 8 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, some of which remain from its earliest incarnation as a work camp for the Florida East Coast Railway. Today these buildings serve a variety of purposes, ranging from housing for educational groups to administrative offices for the non-profit Pigeon Key Foundation. The former Assistant Bridge Tender's House has been converted into a small museum featuring artifacts and images from Pigeon Key's colorful past. It is located off the old Seven Mile Bridge, at approximately mile marker 45, west of Knight's Key, (city of Marathon in the middle Florida Keys) and just east of Moser Channel, which is the deepest section of the 7-mile (11 km) span.
The island was originally known as "Cayo Paloma" (literally translated as "Pigeon Key") on many old Spanish charts - said[by whom?] to have been named for large flocks of white-crowned pigeons (Columba leucocephala Linnaeus) which once roosted there. During the building of Henry Flagler's Overseas Railroad Key West Extension between 1908 and 1912, there were at times as many as 400 workers housed on the island. While these workers built many bridges along the route through the lower keys, the Seven Mile Bridge, spanning the gap between Knight's Key and Little Duck Key remains the largest and most impressive component of what was once referred to as "the 8th Wonder of the World". A number of buildings from the Flagler era remain on the island and are now part of the Pigeon Key Historic District.
Pigeon Key was one of the locations for the "Bal Harbor Institute" in the 1995 series of Flipper. It was seen in three episodes during season one including the pilot episode. It was also the site of the Finish Line of The Amazing Race 18 "Unfinished Business" in 2011.[2]

It's not very easy to access (for obvious reasons) so took this through a gate, with signs around stating that the fences are electrified)!
