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
I love old farmhouse kitchens and I was scared that when we built our house that the kitchen wouldn't have any charm. Using stone and pieces of wood we found here and there and some very new wood we cut from our woods, we had the start of a room that felt "lived in" as we were building it.
I added the old wooden tables which I've had since I was a student in Glasgow, a few chairs that have been given to me over the years, a woodstove we bought second-hand and a few bits that have followed me around for years and the new house feels like home.
As long as the fossil fuel lobby has a free hand in Washington D.C. and the state capitols, the potential for renewable energy, such as solar power, will never reach its full potential.
The fossil fuel lobby's all-out push for fracking will permanently destroy our nation's landscape and poison our water FOREVER. It will be akin to a toxic nuclear effect without the radiation. Thus the meaning for the image shown here.

We recently helped a customer who was paying 20 cents/kwh in NY. We were able to lower that customers rate by 10 cents/kwh. That means for every 100,000 kwh they use, they save $10,000!!! We can save our customers an average of 15-30%.

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)
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.
