Sunset
This is Germany, I took this photo from the window of the bus while traveling by bus at sunset.
Germany is one of the leading countries using wind energy. The world's cleanest electricity generation system is perhaps the first use of wind energy, which does not create pollution that will cause air pollution, does not contain any waste, and leaves our destroyed world clean for future generations.
these were the cleanest urinaries I ever seen, cannot avoid to shot to such a difficult image to find.
Eran los urinarios mas limpios que he visto nunca, no pude evitar capturar tan dificil imagen.
An older photo I had forgotten to upload.
Founded in 1927and closed down in 2002. It was known for the world's cleanest Ferrosilicon and even had some assignments by NASA.
Trondheim, Norway.
Snoqualmie, WA; a view of the power plant built in 1910.
The contrast between the beauty of the river and the monstrosity of the plant is striking.
The impact of human needs on the environment is so huge that is hard to completely grasp, and sometimes it is a means to an end.
This plant powers about 8,000 homes and, although unsightly, is certainly one of the cleanest solutions to produce electricity that humans came up with. It is also probably partially powering the computer I am using and giving me one of the tools I need to show the world this picture.
Ironic! I take pictures of a power plant to convey the message of our impact on nature. Without the power it produces, I wouldn’t be able to convey the message. Perhaps it would be much wiser to just sit near a clean untouched river, and talk with you face to face about the beauty of the environment.
Life is so full of contradictions and complex relationships between causes and effects.
Life and death are the extremes; everything else falls in between.
Inspired by MINDB3ND3R from day_toner on Instagram, credit to his original post:
"The latest in mind control warfare!... The Class 9 MINDBENDER was the cleanest piece of combat equipment developed by F.A.R.R. Industries. After targeted and being „locked in“ individuals would be fully controlled by the guns preset algorithms. The new class 9 model came with an upgraded backpack allowing the user to store and manage up to 100 targets... "

61-2669 C-135C Speckled Trout 412th Flight Test Squadron / 412th Opeartions Group, Edwards Air Force base, United States Air Force.
The immaculate C-135C Speckled Trout is seen here departing RAF Fairford, during the Royal International Air Tattoo back in 1999. I seem to remember that the whole showground stopped and watched as this jet departed, hands down the cleanest aircraft I have ever seen in my life.
She is currently preserved at the Air Force Flight Test Center Museum at Edwards Air Force Base.
This is scanned from a 6x4 colour print, came out pretty well to be honest.
I was just going through some old files and found that I had not stitched this panorama together. Its not the cleanest stitch but how could I not post it.
This was at Yarramundi a few months ago with Rhys. I arrived 5 mintues before this unfolded in front of me.

Earlier this week my friend and I had this shoot we were doing over in downtown Toronto. We were there shooting all throughout the day. We were actually hoping to finish early enough to make it down to the pier so we could take some fun shots of the skyline during sunset. Amazingly we made it out just in time and made it down here with 15 minutes to spare before the sun had fully set. It was unbelievably windy down by the pier that day too. The lake was super choppy, occasionally splashing us while we were out shooting. The wind was strong enough to cause the little puddles to ripple constantly. I wanted them to be static so I could get a clean reflection but that was not happening. This was the cleanest reflection I got. I took a few shots on my phone as well and uploaded a shot of the sunset right before it had actually set, you can see it on my Instagram (link to it is at the top). This was shot right after the sun had set. I actually like it more, I prefer the purple glow more after all compared to the usual orange glow of sunset.
I remember taking this photograph couple of years ago with a cell phone camera. I always wanted to take a high-resolution picture of the same but never got a chance to try it until today. Well, it is not cleanest subway station but the symmetry and a long platform with minimal obstructions are always hard to find in NYC subway system.
I have loads of this species of Lycosidae (Wolf Spiders) in my garden at the moment with eggsacs enjoying the sun. Not the cleanest stack and was taken at 5x magnification with natural light. Only had a few hours to take some pics the other day otherwise working and moving to Cardiff bay at the moment so all systems go! But starting to feel allot better now I have my own place :) I will be on and catch up when I can.
One of the Amazing facts about Bhutan is that its the World's Greenest country and surely one of the cleanest I have visited.
The only carbon negative country in the world is something makes Bhutan unique. Innovative recycling projects, Afforestation and commitment to environmental preservation is something to be learnt from the kingdom.

It is an earth-fill embankment dam on the Pampanga River located in Pantabangan in Nueva Ecija province of the Philippines. The multi-purpose dam provides water for irrigation and hydroelectric power generation while its reservoir, Pantabangan Lake, affords flood control. The reservoir is considered one of the largest in Southeast Asia and also one of the cleanest in the Philippines. Construction on the dam began in 1971 and it was completed in 1977. - From Wikipedia
I just want to show you this SOOC shot with no editing. Inspired by my favorite Ansel Adams shot called Dogwood Blossoms. I saw his original print in person, and the detail he pulled out of the whites was incredible. From across the room, it looked like there were actual flowers glued to the paper. For this Orchid photo, I used the cleanest lens I know, the Zeiss Milvus 135mm f/2 lens for this shot. No edits at all, I uploaded this to flickr, from the camera's memory card even, so you know there was no retouching.
If you've ever photographed flowers before, you know that close up they have flaws, edges brown, bugs eat them, tears in petals, etc. One bloom opens, another one withers. I watched each one of these blooms open, one at a time a couple days apart, and the ones that were already open didn't shrivel, brown, or fade. I knew I had to photograph it. I was photographing it before the last two blooms even opened, because I'd rather had all of them perfect, than all of them open with one of them having browned edges. On the last day, the last bloom opened, the first bloom was still flawless, and I knew there was something special going on here. I captured it in the most detail I possibly could at the time, in one frame. The next day, the flowers started to wither, one at a time starting with the largest blooms onward. There's something beautiful in the fleeting perfection. I'm just glad I was able to witness it. I've returned to the same garden center, many times since then, looking for another flawless specimen, and I haven't found one yet that had the potential of this one here.
This is my favorite photograph I've taken.

I've stolen this title from an early Neil Young album, although it has nothing whatsoever to do with rock music, merely rock lichens. This orange rusty colour is ubiquitous on the rocks around here. I'm not a biologist so I'll simply direct you to a source that can enlighten you further.

They say that this lichen (sometimes called, "marine sunburst lichen") is an indicator of clean air. That probably makes sense, because the inaptly named Cape Grim, on the far north-west of Tasmania, is regarded as having the cleanest air quality in the world.
A rather early Ford Orion spotted lingering in a South London driveway. It appears the current owner bought the car in 1999, but never got to use it, as it was last taxed in 1998. Perhaps a project which never went ahead or a car bought off a family member and kept for sentimental reasons?! Either way, it appears that they are making some attempt at preserving the car by jacking it off the ground, presumably to keep the rust at bay. The cleanest thing on the car were the 90s universal style hubcaps, which at some point were ever so common on cars like the Orion!

"Would you like to try it on, sir, madame? I will get it out of the cabinet for you. This hand-crafted wearable is water- and shock-proof, and made using only the finest quality of Danish materials. Additionally, you don't ever have to charge it. How does it feel? It looks good on you.
Are you sure? Alright then, I will be putting it back."
№ 13. The one that was just a little too expensive.
And that concludes my Dots mini-series! I quite enjoyed this last build, it's my cleanest build to-date and the first one made to highlight a life-size object. That said though, the cylinder can be pulled from the wall, which transforms this into a minifig scale sci-fi environment. :)
The article will follow... later. Link: www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/181444-m...
I hope I've been able to inspire you, happy building!
Shot at the first light festival at Sainte-Marie among the Huron. This shot really push my equipment to its limit. It was VERY dark in there... I stabilized the camera on a bench and shot a few at different exposures. Obviously, I have no control over what the the "forgeron" was doing so I use the cleanest shot of him and composite the rest of the background from the less noisy shot. The final image received some tonal adjustments and the usual de-noising and sharpening with the Topaz AI plug-in.
CPR/VIA view from westbound #1 "The Canadian" vista dome car as we meet an eastbound freight headed two Geeps. Once we left Swift Current, I must have found a seat in the dome observation that I had just photographed there. Not the cleanest glass and certainly not the best picture, but an ample illustration of my first exposure to Canada's broad prairie. It was my first "exposure" in more ways than one. I was hooked and would return many times.

Favolus spatulatus. Photographed after 5 continuous days of light rain & drizzle. These are the cleanest, brightest group that I have ever seen. The underside consists of very tiny pores.
The Rocks, Cairns.
Branches...a photographers worst nightmare. Finding the cleanest shot of this Northern Hawk Owl was a challenge.
Snow White with the Red Hair is the cleanest anime I've ever seen and one of my very favorites! It took me four hours to draw Shirayuki, on the top, and Zen, on the bottom. I used Prismacolor pencils and shaders.
It's been many years since I've been in a bus station but this was one of the cleanest I remember ever seeing. Not to mention there is usually a Pimp, two hookers, a junkie, a drunk and maybe a passenger or 2.

The Königssee is a lake located in the extreme southeast of the German state of Bavaria, near the border with Austria. It's all part of the Berchtesgaden National Park. Located at a Jurassic rift it was formed by glaciers during the last ice age. It stretches about 7.7 km. The lake similar to a fjord is surrounded by steeply rising flanks of mountains up to 2700 m. The lake is noted for its clear water and is advertised as the cleanest lake in Germany. For this reason, only electric driven passenger ships, rowing and pedal boats have been permitted on the lake since 1909. Due to its picturesque setting, the lake and surrounding parklands are very popular with tourists and hikers. In addition, the lake's position surrounded by sheer rock walls creates an echo, which is known for its clarity. St. Bartholomä, a famous pilgrimage church with a small inn nearby, is located on a peninsula about halfway down the western lakeshore. St. Bartholomä and the southern edge can only be reached by boat or via hiking trails up the surrounding mountains.
A vertoramic view over the alpine mountains of the Konigssee in the county of Berchtesgaden - Germany. Photo taken from the Jenner mountain top at the height of 1,870 meters where the beauty of the Berchtesgaden valley and Königssee can be viewed. An overwhelming bird's eye view is just reserved to this single paraglider. Enjoying his or her airy cocpit view above green meadows, past cliffy rocks and lake Königssee with all of its magnificence.
De Königssee is een meer in het uiterste zuidoosten van de Duitse deelstaat Beieren, nabij de grens met Oostenrijk. Het is het diepste meer van Duitsland, met een maximale diepte van 190 m. De Königssee is 7,7 km lang. Vrijwel heel het meer ligt in het Nationaal Park Berchtesgaden. Het landschap is vandaag de dag nog net zo onberoerd en betoverend als in de tijd van de koningen. Omgeven door hoge rotswanden ligt de smaragdgroene Königssee als een fjord temidden van de Beierse Alpen. De bedevaartskerk St. Bartholomä, het symbool van de Königsee, is enkel per electroboot bereikbaar en ligt schilderachtig op een schiereiland omgeven door de Watzmann Ostwand. De berg als legende omgeven van sagen. De fascinatie van de bergen is zelden duidelijker als bij het symbool van het Berchtesgadener Land. De beroemde oostwand van de Watzmann, die met zijn 1800m - vertikaal de hoogste rotswand van de Alpen is. De wand is steeds opnieuw een uitdaging voor veel bergbeklimmers. Het water van de Königssee is het schoonste meer van Duitsland en voldoet aan de kwaliteiten van drinkwater. Steile rotsen, donkere wouden, wilde ravijnen en gletsjers, maar ook bekoorlijke almen en liefelijke dalen. Flora en fauna worden in Duitsland's nationaalpark aan hun lot overgelaten. De bezoeker beleeft een andere bijna vergane wereld, die hier in stand gehouden en wetenschappelijk onderzocht wordt. Zo bewaren ze hier het heden een stuk verleden voor de toekomst. Het is wat mij betreft vrijwel het mooiste meer van de Alpen en zeker het mooiste van Duitsland.
A distant shot of First South west 32677. I thought I’d see how it looks, people seem to be able to get excellent photos from this sort of range by zooming in, however this was the best I could do.
However, I did like that I managed to get the railway bridge in despite it not being the cleanest looking thing. This is the one located at Longrock, between Penzance and Marazion. The railway goes along the coastline to Penzance if heading west, but it’s at this point where it splits off from the coast and goes inland if heading East.
Yes this is a current photo. Snow still in April with a frozen lake in the Sawtooth mountains. The air here, is said to be the cleanest in the United States.

Not the cleanest shot but this was really cool to watch. This Northern Shrike was hovering in place while looking for insects, something that I am more used to seeing a kestrel do. Another person at the refuge was telling me they watched this same shrike catch dragon flies and impale them on shrubs, caching them for later consumption.

Raul fronts the Devils River at a high overlook in the south unit of the Devils River State Natural Area in Val Verde County, Texas.
Caught in the act of blatant corruption!? (Just for the record, London happens to be one of the cleanest cities I have ever visited; a far cry from New York City, my (childhood) home town. The photo is entirely intended as tongue-in-cheek humor. I adore London!).
Great Horned owlet from my recent shoot with this amazing creature. I had a peek-a-boo vision in my mind and set about finding the right perspective and cleanest background that I could find. This image is the end result, and I think I did a fairly reasonable job of achieving my goal. View large for best experience.
Weekend is almost over. Hope you all had a good one~!
