Nice to talk whilst waiting.

Converted to monochrome.

Of course, almost all of London's buses are red. As there is a hill coming up, I think I'd rather be on the bus.

We did something that we have been talking about for years, that is, stop the car and take a photo of this bus.

Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse- South Portland, Maine

I was not the only photographer there that morning as you may be able to see. I have no idea who he is. Was it you? :)

Sun and Wind Power in rural Ontario

I was looking at the reflections and then I saw some white birds. Closer inspection revealed they were royal spoonbills.

Man made trees for Art Week Gallery

An imposing canopy of artificial trees up to 50 meters is high towering over a vast urban oasis.

The colossal solar-powered supertrees are found in the Bay South garden: it is part of a 250-acre landscaping project -- Gardens by the Bay -- that is an initiative from Singapore's National Parks Board that sees the cultivation of flora and fauna from foreign lands.

The man-made mechanical forest consists of 18 supertrees that act as vertical gardens, generating solar power, acting as air venting ducts for nearby conservatories, and collecting rainwater. To generate electricity, 11 of the supertrees are fitted with solar photovoltaic systems that convert sunlight into energy, which provides lighting and aids water technology for the conservatories.

This array of parabolic dishes was set up in 1981 to collect and concentrate solar energy that in turn produced superheated steam to drive a power generator. The power station was shut down in 2005 and is preserved now as part of Australia's industrial heritage.

Tonopah, Nevada, has a 110 megawatt solar thermal power plant called Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project. It will start operating later this year and will provide power for 75,000 homes. The anticipated to cost is a bit less than $1 billion.

This solar power plant can operate 24/7 - hot salt in a big tank stores energy for use at night. A truly large-scale project. An overview video describes this.

A vision of how Chicago might have been developed had the optimization of solar power been a priority.

Urban Light is a 2008 large-scale assemblage sculpture by Chris Burden that stands in front of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. The installation consists of 202 restored street lamps from the 1920s and 1930s. Most of them once lit the streets of Southern California.

The cast iron street lamps are of 17 styles, which vary depending on the municipality that commissioned them. They range from about 20 to 30 feet (6 to 9 meters), are painted a uniform grey and placed, forest-like, in a near grid. The lights are solar powered and switched on at dusk. Writing in the Los Angeles Times, Susan Freudenheim described the restored lamps as displaying "elaborate floral and geometric patterns" at the base, with "fluted shafts and glass globes that cap them...meticulously cleaned, painted and refurbished to create an exuberant glow.

A calm looking long exposure of Trwyn Du Lighthouse at Penmon Point. The image is quite deceptive as the weather that morning was very aggressive with high winds and crashing waves.

The first lighthouse was errected in 1838 shortly after a ship ran aground causing 130 people to loose their lives. The ship that sank was called the Rothsay Castle

and sank in 1831.

The present lighthouse is 29 metres tall & was designed by James Walker & built in 1835-1838.

The lamp was converted to solarpower in 1996.At present the Lighthouse has a 15,000 candela light that can be seen 12 nautical miles away & a 178 kilogram fog bell that sounds once every 30 seconds.

Thank you for taking the time to view my work and as always I appreciate all your feedback and any faves you are kind enough to leave. Have a great week :)

This photo was taken in 2013 during my previous Project 365…please visit my album for this “REMASTERED” Project 365 as I revisit each day of 2013 for additional photos to share!!

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D5200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

All of your natural power needs are here...you've got your solar and wind creating energy. Soon also there will be crops in the field from hard work to feed your family !

Pushing on that trigger is like pulling magic into my very soul...Darrell.

Have a safe and creative day dear Flickr friends.

So I'm sailing away on a ship from Denmark, and I see this sight, so I take the shot.

Where once there were only fields there are now wind farms and crops. Editing of the barn and foreground while the sky and windmills are untouched.

...on a cloudy, overcast day, which of course meant it could use a little help from yours truly.

The Energy Tree, designed by artist John Packer and Bristol-based Demand Energy Equality, provides free mobile phone charging points and Wi-Fi.

It was built by Mr Packer with help from recovering addicts from the Bristol Drugs Project.

The exhibit, at-Bristol Science Centre, was part of the city's year as European Green Capital.

Ellivro Thgirw dreamed of building his own flying contraption. He finally came up with a plausible plan and moved into the construction phase staging his machine in a huge parking lot. What he found though was that no matter how fast he flapped the multiple rows of wings, his contraption would not become airborne. He finally had to give up due to a lack of funding.

It wasn't until much later that Ellivro realized what the problem was. He had forgotten to unbolt his flying machine from it's temporary supports. However, by the time he understood his error, the flying machine had been repurposed for use as a source of solar energy.

Today we are staying at Tonopah, Nevada. North-west of the town is a 110 megawatt solar thermal power plant called Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project. It will start operating later this year. The anticipated to cost is a bit less than $1 billion.

This solar power plant can operate 24/7 - hot salt in a big tank stores energy for use at night. A truly large-scale project. An overview video explains it.

The title is a play on a tail. The fossil fuel industry is riding on government subsidies and misses the boat. The renewable energy industry is smart and leaping ahead.

I climbed up a big sand dune to get a good vantage point. Walking barefoot was the easiest to get up on the dune. You see my steps at the crest.

I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from two RAW exposures, then merged them by blending 80% of the paintery version into the lower part of the scene.

Solar Impulse, a solar aircraft just landed at Moffett Federal Airfield at NASA Ames in Mountain View, California.

Yesterday we went to San Francisco to watch the aircraft fly over the Golden Gate Bridge. We had a nice picnic a Crissy Field. Solar Impulse was flying quite high.

Founders Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg want us to use more clean energies. Or in their word, push the transition to renewable energy resources. Very inspiring!

The aircraft has a wingspan bigger than a Boeing 747, but weights just 2 tons instead of 400 tons. More info on this historic flight at www.solarimpulse.com

This year seems to have a big year for the moon, I don’t have the sort of lens’s for that so have made my own little moon. Frozen moons Black and White are a solar lamp and a hole in a grow cover.

The biggest solar power station in the world at the edge of the Sahara.
