Bláa Lónið - “Blue Lagoon”
The steamy waters of the Blue Lagoon Geothermal Spa are part of a the Svartsenga lava formation, caused by a volcanic eruption some 800 years ago; its six million litres of warm waters rich in minerals like silica and sulphur are said to have curative powers - bathing in the Blue Lagoon is believed to help people suffering from skin diseases such as psoriasis. The water keeps a fairly steady temperature of 37-39 °C, so somewhat more comfortable than the 43 °C water in the Georgian Baths in Tbilisi last year! The temperature is variable according to where in the pool you are.
The lagoon is fed by overspill water from the nearby power plant Svartsengi. Hot geothermal seawater is extracted from 2000 metres beneath the ground and used to run turbines generating electricity as well as providing heat for a municipal water heating system. The water is then pumped into the lagoon for treatments (it is clean and replaced every two days I am assured!), therapies or just relaxing in the large expanse of powder-blue water, set amidst a jet black lavascape. The radiant blue colour is the result of light-refracting micro-organisms that thrive in the unusual ecosystem.
The artificially created Blue Lagoon has been described as 'the most supernatural looking body of water on earth' as well as 'a massive hot tub on the moon' and was voted the best Medical/Thermal spa and one of the top 10 spas in the world by Conde Nast.

In the 1960s a new red-brick power station was built in the lands of Pigeonhouse precinct. Officially called Poolbeg Generating Station, it is today widely known as the Pigeon House. Fuelled by either oil or natural gas, the first two 120MW units of the Poolbeg plant officially opened 1971. These units both have turbo-alternators manufactured by Brown Boveri and 'drum type' boilers by Fives Penhoet, France. A third 271MW unit was added in 1978, with a turbo-alternator manufactured by Alsthom, France and a 'once through' type Boiler by M.A.N Germany.

Reign of Fire London aka Poolbeg Power Station
At nearly €70 million, this dragon flick directed by Rob Bowman (X Files) became the most expensive film ever shot in Ireland and starred Matthew McConaughey and Christian Bale. A boy finds a dragon egg in present-day London. Twenty years later, deadly dragons have overrun the world and survivors seek shelter in an old castle in rural Northumberland (aka the Wicklow Gap). The Poolbeg power station and facade of the abandoned Pigeon House Hotel were used as a set and the distinctive chimneys are visible. Part of the original set is included in the studio tram tour in Disneyland Paris.

Generated using a modified version of Turing's reaction-diffusion model of morphogenesis, implemented in IDL. Version 2.0 of the earlier picture, after some little tweaks to adjust how to 'grow' this shape, and some big changes to make it so I could increase the resolution without the computation running over 2GB of memory. It took all weekend for my rather fast dual core work machine to compute this image.
Best viewed.. well, on a poster-size print, actually. Alternatively, in a zooming image viewer. Failing that, huge. Seriously.. even in the large view you can't see the lowest level of substructure.

At its height, FirstEnergy encompassed more than three dozen coal, nuclear, natural gas and hydro power plants. Following sales and closures of several plants in response to changing economic conditions and company strategy, FirstEnergy made the decision in 2018 to exit competitive generation and transform into a regulated company. Depicted here is the former Lake Shore Power Plant near Cleveland, Ohio.
