Last week we stayed 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. At the bottom you see the reflection on the panels that mirror the sunlight to a large tower to heat liquid salt, which is used to generate electricity.
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.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure. I actually took three bracketed exposures, but decided to use just the underexposed one to get these deep colors.

Il sole: una luce sospesa tra cielo e terra.
Eppure quella stessa energia, gratuita e inesauribile, resta lì—mentre il mondo continua a combattersi per ciò che brucia, consuma e distrugge.
Ogni giorno il Sole invia sulla Terra circa 173.000 terawatt di energia: più di 10.000 volte il fabbisogno energetico globale. Eppure, oltre l’80% dell’energia che utilizziamo proviene ancora da fonti fossili.
Nel frattempo, le emissioni di CO₂ legate all’energia hanno superato i 36 miliardi di tonnellate all’anno, contribuendo a un aumento della temperatura media globale di circa 1,2°C rispetto all’era preindustriale—un cambiamento che si traduce già oggi in eventi estremi sempre più frequenti.
E mentre miliardi vengono spesi in conflitti e infrastrutture legate al petrolio, il costo dell’energia solare è crollato di oltre l’80% negli ultimi 10 anni, rendendola una delle fonti più economiche in assoluto.
Inseguiamo il buio del petrolio, quando basterebbe guardare in alto.
Forse il futuro non è qualcosa da scavare, ma qualcosa da accendere.

Architect Shahid Syeed Khan’s 10 rooftop solar panels and single wind turbine generate five kilowatts of electricity, enough to run a computer, TV, eight fans, and forty light bulbs.

What could be better'n sitting in an Adirondack Chair watching a solar powered tourist boat go by in the harbour in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Well, how about sitting with a friend and watching a solar powered tourist boat go by in the harbour in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island? Yeah, I figured that since I don't actually have any friends, I didn't wanna sit there all by myself. 'Cause then people would just walk by and say, "Look at that sad guy sitting all by himself waiting for a friend who's never gonna arrive." I hate it when that happens. Just kidding. There was nobody else there to see me. lol I needed an explanation for why the chairs were empty.

The Catalina mountains to Tucson's north are almost totally obscured by low lying clouds, commonly called fog. I had to increase the contrast a bit to enable you to see the mountains at all. This is just the way it looked to me in person, some of the time. and some the time the mountains disappeared completely...
Photo taken after lunch at 1:50 pm in the Parking lot of Eli's Deli at the Corner of 5th Street and Rosemont Ave. I like the Solar power generating panels over the parking of what used to be the Duffy School, across the street from the Deli. The school building now contains Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) administration offices.
It rained last night and it is still drizzling today. Rio Magnolia is flowing on Magnolia Street between Third and Speedway. It's not a high volume flow at all. It was really just drizzling in the afternoon, but it rained heavily early this morning.

The Aire Valley was once the north's power house, with its 8,000MW of coal fired power stations and Big K - Kellingley colliery. Now, 2 out of 3 power stations are shut, along with Big K and Drax burns mostly biomass. 66057 is crossing the Aire and Calder navigation with the 10:15 Immingham - Drax biomass working. Passing the colliery site, which over the years loaded the coal into barges to transport it to Ferrybridge power station along the Aire and Calder.
The sun partially blocked by a few metal arms of an eletricity transmission tower provided a shot that bodes well with a solar power theme.
This was taken just outside Chelmsford, Essex on a wintry evening. I thought I was the only one out there, but ironically when we had a club competition, I entered this into the print comp and another member entered into the DPI with the same title.
There was just something about the momentary cloud formation in conjunction the the solar farm that made me reach for my camera.

NO GROUP BANNERS. Thanks.
We caught this from atop Palo Duro canyon, Texas. My Nikon was equipped with a solar filter on a 750mm effective telephoto lens. An unbelievable sight!
Se tem uma coisa com a qual já me conformei é que não vou completar essa edição do Desafio nos 31 dias que planejei inicialmente (mas se der tudo certo atrasarei uns 2 dias no máximo)
Estava com essas unhas desde quinta-feira dia 19, mas simplesmente não consegui tempo de fotografar com a luz do dia Ç_Ç
Esse negócio de estágios + aulas + projetos + vida acabou tomando mais tempo do que eu imaginava, enfim...
Usei como base o The Black Knight (Butter London), que é um glitter M.A.R.A.V.I.L.H.O.S.O. e espero repetir sozinho em breve! Foram duas camadas, fácil de aplicar e limpar os cantinhos e, justamente por ter vários glitters de cores diferentes, deu uma profundidade e brilho muito legal à galáxia.
Por cima esponjei com o Bala de Coco (Vult), Vert Chlorophylle (Bourjois), Solar Power (ChG), Success Azure (Bourjois) e Creative Fantasy (ChG). Fiz as bolotas com o Vult, alguns detalhes em preto com o Sylvia (Granado), cobri tudo com o Star (Risqué) e finalizei com o topcoat da Ideal.
Tirei hoje essa esmaltação logo depois da foto e já estou fazendo a unha 20, Water Marble, mas acredito que só vá conseguir fotografá-la amanhã cedo, então teremos duas fotos, as unhas 20 e 21 XD

Solar Impulse, the solar aircraft built in Switzerland to circle the globe, took off in the early morning on May 2nd this year at Moffett Federal Airfield at NASA Ames in Mountain View, California. I got an invite to witness this historic journey around the world.
Founders and pilots Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg first addressed the press. André climbed into the cockpit for this leg to Phoenix, Arizona. The flight took 16 hours. I had a big tripod with me and could blend in with the press to get a prime spot for takeoff. Preparations were long, but the actual takeoff happened very quiet and sudden. I took this shot at the time of take-off at 5am in the morning.
Bertrand and André want us to use more clean energies. In their word, they want to 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. To preserve weight and aerodynamics, this aircraft has no landing gears on the side. People hold the aircraft level on long poles until it gains enough speed. More info on this historic flight at www.solarimpulse.com

A wind turbine, or alternatively referred to as a wind energy converter, is a device that converts the wind's kinetic energy into electrical energy. Wind turbines are manufactured in a wide range of vertical and horizontal axis. Click on image for best view and to see the pump jacks.
