This is actually an event in Holland, visitors are invited to the farms. It's on the national news. And ITS JUST A JOYFUL VIEW!! seeing the cows jumping and running when they are released from the stables for the first time after winter where they have been locked up all the time!!

The cooling tower and two smokestacks of a coal-fired power plant in Chaoyang, Beijing, owned by China Huaneng Group.
I visited this plant because it was installing an experimental post-combustion capture system (PCC) to extract CO2 for use in the production of carbonated beverages.

The R. L. Hearn Generating Station was the site of Canada's first 100 MW steam turbo-generator set. The station sits in what was once Ashbridge's Bay, a shallow marsh that was filled in with rubble from downtown construction sites from 1911 to 1950s. The station was officially opened on October 26, 1951 by Leslie Frost, Premier of Ontario .Now abandoned
This time, I shared a "scary" image for you. 😱😱😱
I thought that it was a good opportunity for using some sparkling background to emphasize the bubble-bokeh generated by my father's Pentacon. 😅😅😅
I hope that you will like the result, my friends. Stay safe and healthy and have a great weekend! 🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
The Tanner's Creek plant is no being dismantled. Opened in 1954 it was once one of the most efficient in the U.S.
End of the line, or just the beginning, depending on your destination, one of the newest stations on the London Undergound having been opened in September 2021, right in the heart of London in zone 1 & partly funded by the nearby Battersea Power Station redevelopment, a very trendy area on the banks of the Thames.
Covel Creek Falls, in Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Washington. Kind of a tricky shot with a drone, especially trying to get a longer exposure with the air turbulence generated by the waterfall itself. Access is by trail #228 from either NF 76 or NF 28.

Museo Guggenheim, Bilbao, Vizcaya, País Vasco, España.
El Museo Guggenheim Bilbao (en euskera, Guggenheim Bilbao Museoa; en inglés, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao) es un museo de arte contemporáneo diseñado por el arquitecto canadiense Frank O. Gehry y localizado en la villa de Bilbao (País Vasco), España. Es uno de los museos vinculados en régimen de franquicia o colaboración con la Fundación Solomon R. Guggenheim. Fue inaugurado el 18 de octubre de 1997 por el rey Juan Carlos I de España.
Las negociaciones para la construcción del museo entre las autoridades públicas de la comunidad autónoma del País Vasco y los directivos de la Fundación Guggenheim comenzaron en febrero de 1991. El acuerdo se firmó a finales de ese año, seleccionándose el arquitecto y el emplazamiento del edificio a mediados de 1992. Desde su inauguración en 1997, el museo ha recibido una media superior al millón de visitantes anuales, causando un impacto extraordinario en la economía y la sociedad vasca, impulsando el turismo en la región y promoviendo la revitalización de múltiples espacios públicos y privados en la villa, además de mejorar la imagen de la ciudad. Todo este fenómeno, bautizado por los medios de comunicación como «efecto Guggenheim» o «efecto Bilbao», ha puesto de relieve la importancia del turismo cultural, y ha generado un efecto de emulación en otros países, con desiguales resultados.
La característica más llamativa del museo es el innovador edificio en el que se emplaza, constituido por formas curvilíneas y retorcidas, recubiertas de piedra caliza, cortinas de cristal y planchas de titanio. Cuenta con una superficie total de 24.000 m², de los cuales 10.540 m² están reservados para las exposiciones, distribuidos en 19 galerías, siendo el museo con más metros expositivos del Estado. Se ubica a orillas de la ría de Bilbao, en una zona denominada Abandoibarra, junto al puente de La Salve, que está rodeado por una torre hueca.
Tanto el edificio como su colección permanente pertenecen a las autoridades vascas. El 3 de diciembre de 2014 el patronato del Museo Guggenheim Bilbao aprobó renovar por otros 20 años la colaboración con la Fundación Solomon R. Guggenheim de Nueva York, suscrita en 1994 y cuya vigencia vencía el 31 de diciembre.
Diseñado por el gabinete de arquitectos de Frank Gehry, fue abierto al público en 1997 y alberga exposiciones de arte de obras pertenecientes a la fundación Guggenheim y exposiciones itinerantes. Muy pronto el edificio se reveló como uno de los más espectaculares edificios deconstructivistas. El diseño del museo y su construcción siguen el estilo y métodos de Frank Gehry. Como muchos de sus trabajos anteriores la estructura principal está radicalmente esculpida siguiendo contornos casi orgánicos. El museo afirma no contener una sola superficie plana en toda su estructura. Parte del edificio es cruzado por un puente elevado y el exterior está recubierto por placas de titanio y por una piedra caliza que fue muy difícil de encontrar (al final se logró encontrar en Huéscar, Granada) de un color similar a la que se utilizó para construir la Universidad de Deusto.
El edificio visto desde el río aparenta tener la forma de un barco rindiendo homenaje a la ciudad portuaria en la que se inscribe. Sus paneles brillantes se asemejan a las escamas de un pez recordándonos las influencias de formas orgánicas presentes en muchos de los trabajos de Gehry. Visto desde arriba, sin embargo, el edificio posee la forma de una flor. Para su diseño el equipo de Gehry utilizó intensamente simulaciones por ordenador de las estructuras necesarias para mantener el edificio, consiguiendo unas formas que hubieran sido imposibles de realizar unas pocas décadas antes.
Mientras que el museo domina las vistas de la zona desde el nivel del río, su aspecto desde el nivel superior de la calle es mucho más modesto por lo que no desentona con su entorno de edificios más tradicionales.
The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao (in Basque, Guggenheim Bilbao Museoa; in English, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao) is a contemporary art museum designed by Canadian architect Frank O. Gehry and located in the town of Bilbao (Basque Country), Spain. It is one of the museums linked by franchise or collaboration with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation. It was inaugurated on October 18, 1997 by King Juan Carlos I of Spain.
The negotiations for the construction of the museum between the public authorities of the autonomous community of the Basque Country and the directors of the Guggenheim Foundation began in February 1991. The agreement was signed at the end of that year, selecting the architect and the location of the building mid-1992. Since its inauguration in 1997, the museum has received an average of more than a million visitors per year, causing an extraordinary impact on the Basque economy and society, boosting tourism in the region and promoting the revitalization of multiple public spaces and in the town, in addition to improving the image of the city. All this phenomenon, baptized by the media as the "Guggenheim effect" or "Bilbao effect", has highlighted the importance of cultural tourism, and has generated an effect of emulation in other countries, with uneven results.
The most striking feature of the museum is the innovative building in which it is located, made up of curvilinear and twisted shapes, covered in limestone, glass curtains and titanium plates. It has a total area of 24,000 m², of which 10,540 m² are reserved for exhibitions, distributed in 19 galleries, making it the museum with the most exhibition meters in the State. It is located on the banks of the Bilbao estuary, in an area called Abandoibarra, next to the La Salve bridge, which is surrounded by a hollow tower.
Both the building and its permanent collection belong to the Basque authorities. On December 3, 2014, the Board of Trustees of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao approved renewing for another 20 years the collaboration with the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation of New York, signed in 1994 and whose validity expired on December 31.
Designed by the firm of architects of Frank Gehry, it was opened to the public in 1997 and houses art exhibitions of works belonging to the Guggenheim Foundation and traveling exhibitions. Very soon the building was revealed as one of the most spectacular deconstructivist buildings. The design of the museum and its construction follow the style and methods of Frank Gehry. Like many of his earlier works the main structure is radically sculpted following almost organic contours. The museum claims not to contain a single flat surface in its entire structure. Part of the building is crossed by an elevated bridge and the exterior is covered by titanium plates and by a limestone that was very difficult to find (in the end it was found in Huéscar, Granada) of a similar color to the one used for build the University of Deusto.
Seen from the river, the building appears to have the shape of a ship, paying homage to the port city in which it is part. Its glossy panels resemble the scales of a fish, reminding us of the organic shape influences present in much of Gehry's work. Seen from above, however, the building has the shape of a flower. Gehry's team extensively used computer simulations of the structures needed to support the building for its design, achieving shapes that would have been impossible a few decades earlier.
While the museum commands views of the area from river level, its appearance from the upper street level is much more modest, fitting in with its setting of more traditional buildings.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
The Rankine Generating Station is a former hydro-electric generating station along the Canadian side of the Niagara River in Niagara Falls, Ontario, slightly downstream from the older Toronto Power Generating Station. It was built for the Canadian Niagara Power Company and named for company's founder William Birch Rankine (b. 1858), a New York City (and later of Niagara Falls) lawyer originally from Geneva, New York who died three days after (in Grafton, New Hampshire) the station opened in 1905 and renamed in 1927. Acquired by Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation in 1950 and in 2002, the station became a wholly owned subsidiary of FortisOntario (and part of Canadian owned Fortis Inc.). It was decommissioned in 2006.
It reopened in July 2021 as a tourist site.
The facility, also known as The Canadian Niagara Power Generating Station, contained eleven vertical axle, 25 Hertz generators rated at 8320 kVA each for a total generating capacity of 100 MVA. When opening in 1905, the plant was equipped with only five turbines and generators. The generators were based on a design by Nikola Tesla. Peak capacity was achieved in 1924 when additional 25-cycle generator units were installed. The mechanism consisted of "11 vertical steel shafts, each running from a turbine in the deep pit to a generator 130 feet above". Power was transmitted to a transformer station in another Niagara Falls, Ontario location via underground cables.
A September 2019 report provided these additional specifics:
Housing 11 vertical penstocks, water from the Niagara River would enter through the forebay and drop 180 ft (54.8 metres) before being expelled into a 2,000 ft (609.6 metres) tunnel that emptied into the lower Niagara River, right at the base of the Horseshoe Falls.
The station was licensed to generate a maximum of 76.4MW of 25 Hz AC current using its eleven generators. By the 1950s, most other Ontario power plants were producing 60 Hz power but this station was allowed to continue at 25 Hz since there was adequate demand.
