It is a tad after noon the sun is just over the southern horizon as for the moon it's on its way down.
this image depicts what the scene here in Fairbanks Alaska were the daylight hours are dwindling away on this day we lose 4minutes and 11 seconds of daylight the sun is 3 degrees above the horizon. This creates some real challenging lighting in the winter
Both great sources of renewable power,
Turbines are the alternative to fossil fuel without greenhouse gas,
Its all pure with a minimal land use,
This was taken out east on Long Island few years back.
Tilonia India, Barefoot College -
From September 2011 to the following March, women travelled from across Africa, from countries like Uganda Liberia and South Sudan, to take part in training to become solar engineers.
Each was selected or nominated by her local community and supported by a variety of local and international organisations, and in some cases, their governments. Their trainers, who mostly speak Hindi, must cut across linguistic and cultural barriers using gestures and signs.

A house on the (almost finished) bicycle boulevard (Franklin Street).
This house has at least 13 solar panels. I'm unsure of how much power those 13 panels I saw can generate.
My main reason for heading to the west end of Zurich on that post-lockdown day, was in order to photograph the building featured here. Even after doing some research, I can't tell you exactly what it is used for, but it appears to be part of the Swissmill complex and is likely a grain silo. If any of you know what the building is used for, then please let me know.
I had seen the building multiple times out the train window while travelling along the nearby tracks and every time I thought to myself that it would look amazing photographed in black and white. The compositions I originally had in mind will be featured in the next post, but I was also quite chuffed with how this front-on image turned out.

The helicopter regularly flies the power lines to look for issues
...or maybe it's a new eco-electric chopper??
The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is a concentrated solar thermal plant in the Mojave Desert. It is located at the base of Clark Mountain in California, across the state line from Primm, Nevada. The plant has a gross capacity of 392 megawatts (MW). It deploys 173,500 heliostats, each with two mirrors focusing solar energy on boilers located on three centralized solar power towers. The first unit of the system was connected to the electrical grid in September 2013 for an initial synchronisation test. The facility formally opened on February 13, 2014. In 2014, it was the world's largest solar thermal power station.
This is an image I took for a competition recently to do with energy in the environment, so far it's won me a few things, result! :o) Let me know what u think guys......x
Yet another sunshine oriented photo. I can't help it - it's been so unseasonably sunny and warm here in the Northeastern U.S.! This is a solar powered flower that "dances" when you set it under a light. The way it moves is so cheerful that you really can't help but feel happy watching it.
For Our Daily Challenge: Six (for six petals)
In June 2018, my wife & I attended a Family Wedding at the Hilton Garden Inn, 275 Baker Street in Atlanta, Georgia. One end the hallway on the on the 13 Floor (they call it Floor PH) gave me a Great View of the CSX Tracks, while the other end of the hallway gave me a great view of the Skyview Ferris Wheel across the street from Centennial Olympic Park.
I took this photograph, which shows a Panoramic View, from the Hotel's 13th Floor Window of our Room. It shows a Skyline View of the Atlanta Skyline on a Cloudy Day.
From Left to Right are some of Buildings and attractions in the photograph are: the Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel (Silver Cylindrical Building) at 210 Peachtree Street NW, the Georgia Pacific Building at 133 Peachtree Street NW, the Equitable Life Assurance Building at 100 Peachtree Street NW, the Sky View Atlanta Ferris Wheel on Centennial Olympic Drive. NW and the Centennial Tower (with the Triangle on the Side of the Building) at 101 Marietta Street NW.
The Building in the Foreground with the Solar Panels on the Roof., is the Centennial Park West Condominium, located at 250 Park Avenue W. For more information about Legacy Ventures, Solar Energy, See:
Our sun, like all other stars, generates its energy through nuclear fusion: inside it, 564 million tons of hydrogen are fused to 560 million tons of helium every second. The "missing" four million tons are radiated as energy. This is more energy per second than has been produced by our global civilization through the burning of fossil fuels since the beginning of industrialization !
Using solar panels to produce renewable energy, the Smartflower works ona rotating axis to ensure the panels aer postitioned in the optimal location throughout the day. The Smartflower in intelligent and wakes up and sets with the sun everyday, all year long.

At first I didn't like the hydro tower, but then I started to like the juxtaposition of man's made power structure to nature's own. Day 239 in the bag, early!
Enjoy in the light box - It's Sunday!

How can you look at this pic and *not* think it comes from a Sci-Fi movie/tv-show of power generation on a distant planet that humankind has inhabited/infested...
...picture taken (by Austin whilst I was driving, per my instructions) of a molten salt solar power plant here on Gaea/Earth outside Nevada as we made our way back to SoCal from a Water Polo tournament held in Las Vegas last weekend.
