The Atom-Ei glows orange in the sunset light. This is the outer shell of the FRM (Forschungsreaktor München, research reactor Munich).
The FRM was the first nuclear technology installation in the Federal Republic Germany, completed in 1957. The shape of the Atom-Ei is also a prominent feature on the coat of arms of the town of Garching.
The old reactor was decommissioned in 2000 and replaced by the Forschungs-Neutronenquelle Heinz Maier-Leibnitz (aka FRM II, research reactor Munich II), built nearby.

This rather tame, active, crested little bird is common all year in eastern forests, where its whistled peter-peter-peter song may be heard even during mid-winter thaws. It is related to the chickadees, and like them it readily comes to bird feeders, often carrying away sunflower seeds one at a time. Feeders may be helping it to expand its range: in recent decades, Tufted Titmice have been steadily pushing north.
Diet consist mostly insects and seeds. Insects make up close to two-thirds of annual diet, with caterpillars the most important prey in summer; also eats wasps, bees, sawfly larvae, beetles, true bugs, scale insects, and many others, including many insect eggs and pupae. Also eats some spiders, snails. Seeds, nuts, berries, and small fruits are important in diet especially in winter.
Tufted Titmice and chickadees are ‘nuclear' species, often joined in winter flocks by a variety of ‘satellite' species. As a ‘nuclear' species, titmice influence the paths that flocks follow, are aggressive mobbers of potential predators, and often take the lead during mobbing events. The calls that titmice utter when mobbing provide information about the presence of predators for hetero specifics as well as con-specifics
In central Florida titmice are year round residents and do not migrate. They are common at most bird feeders throughout the year.
Their range is from two to five acres during breeding season which is from March to June.
I found this one in my backyard. Lake Wales, Florida.
Nuclear fusion in the Sun. The Sun is a main-sequence star, and, as such, generates its energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium. In its core, the Sun fuses 620 million metric tons of hydrogen and makes 616 million metric tons of helium each second.
The rising sun filtered through a dense layer of forest fire smoke and a few clouds, viewed across ridges of the foothills of the Colorado Front Range.

The dog walker and her two furry friends had me thinking of the old “Ready Brek” adverts!
I was chuffed to find this Mountain Ash the other evening on a reccy trip. I kept going back for several evenings in a row. The last time was one of the best sunsets I have seen during the summer months here in Scotland. The light just before the sun set behind the mountains was wonderfully golden. I had my UAV too and there were 2 halves of a rainbow too behind me. I can't wait for it to be in flower and berry soon.
the Sun is a gigantic nuclear reactor. Nuclear fusion reactions transformed hydrogen into helium in its core, releasing energy

A peaceful solution must be found, nuclear war is world destruction. Diplomacy is not easy but it is far better than force! I pray that this deal works!!

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo❤️
I decided to go on a very late night walkabout and happened upon this car park, partly above ground as well as underground, wondering around I came to the edge of the above ground and looked down, there below was a metal grate with these metal rungs beneath that. So I ventured down there and found this before me.
Using the White Balance to Incandescent it gave this wholly creepy hue of green, which any of my followers know I am a fan of; it then struck me when I reviewed it later on a HD screen, how fitting this is to the Dark City Deutschland collection I am concurrently doing. But here's a thought, if World War 3 ever does break out, this will probably be the survivors view for the rest our days.
On another more cheery note, I must stress how grateful I am to my followers, favers, commentators passersby and all, so as always, thank you! :)
PS: I am off for holidays and so will be out of Flickr for a couple of weeks
This is one I pulled over to get: Beth and I had just picked up take-out, we’re returning home to eat, and the sun exploded as we drove onto Veterans Bridge. My smart phone is kind of stupid - so I used Beth’s - and took this photo. The sun was so incredibly bright (I cannot stress this enough), framing presented a challenge. Plus, the wind was howling and blowing dust everywhere. Still, I think the result was worth it. Have a great week, everyone! *Explored: July 31, 2023 - Thank you!
Nuclear X 2 (If you include the Sun behind it).
At 580 Feet tall (176 Meters), these abandoned nuclear cooling towers serve as reminders for the future generations. Nuclear power known for how it's the cleanest form of power to date, still is not widely accepted today.
HANDLEY PAGE VICTOR XL231_Yorkshire Air Museum_former RAF Elvington
The Handley Page Victor is a British jet-powered strategic bomber, developed and produced by the Handley Page Aircraft Company, which served during the Cold War. It was the third and final V-bomber to be operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF), the other two being the Avro Vulcan and the Vickers Valiant. The Victor had been developed as part of the United Kingdom's airborne nuclear deterrent. In 1968, it was retired from the nuclear mission following the discovery of fatigue cracks, which had been exacerbated by the RAF's adoption of a low-altitude flight profile to avoid interception.
A number of Victors were modified for strategic reconnaissance, using a combination of radar, cameras, and other sensors. As the nuclear deterrence mission was given to the Royal Navy's submarine-launched Polaris missiles in 1969, a large V-bomber fleet could not be justified. Consequently, many of the surviving Victors were converted into aerial refuelling tankers. During the Falklands War, Victor tankers were used in the airborne logistics operation to repeatedly refuel Vulcan bombers on their way to and from the Black Buck raids.
The Victor was the last of the V-bombers to be retired, the final aircraft being removed from service on 15 October 1993. In its refuelling role, it was replaced by the Vickers VC10 and the Lockheed Tristar.

In a nuclear power plant, which luckily never went into operation - one of the safest of its kind on earth.
Dungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness spans Dungeness Nuclear Power Station, the hamlet of Dungeness, and an ecological site at the same location. It lies within the civil parish of Lydd.
There are two nuclear power stations at Dungeness, identified as "A" and "B", the first built in 1965 and the second in 1983. They are within a wildlife sanctuary designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and birds flourish in the warmer water created by the station's outflow.[citation needed]
The older power station closed on 31 December 2006,[9] while the newer station has had its licence extended to 2028. It is now owned and operated by EDF Energy.[10]
There is a public visitors centre, and tours of "B" station are available. Tours were stopped in 2001, and the visitor centre subsequently closed in 2003, in the wake of the September 11 attacks. EDF opened a new visitor centre in 2013 and resumed tours, albeit with new security procedures which have to be cleared some weeks in advance of visits.
The expansive Cheyenne Mountain—former headquarters of the joint Canadian/American North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and supposedly able to withstand a direct blast from a nuclear weapon—spans the landscape near Colorado Springs, Colorado.

"Nuclear Waste Land" 1983
Another image with a 'Dark and Light in our World' flavour. This is definitely a dark image .. enhanced by the extreme grain of Infra-red film ! A washed up barrel of .. what ?!? Oil / Chemicals / Nuclear waste .. who knows. .. !! In the distance, a 'Martello' tower .. built to defend against an invasion from Napolean. Dark stormy clouds and foreboding cliffs rise to the right while sombre looking waves roll in from the left. And in Kent .. 'The Garden of England' of all places.
Une autre image sur le thème de l'obscurité et de la lumière dans notre monde. Il s'agit d'une image sombre, accentuée par le grain extrême du film infrarouge ! Un baril de ... quoi ? !? Pétrole / Produits chimiques / Déchets nucléaires ... qui sait. .. ! ! Au loin, une tour Martello construite pour se défendre contre une invasion de Napoléon. De sombres nuages orageux et des falaises inquiétantes s'élèvent sur la droite, tandis que de sombres vagues déferlent sur la gauche. Et dans le Kent ... « Le jardin de l'Angleterre ».
