Forget Stonehenge – Dungeness has benches and a nuclear reactor. And I'm sure a couple of those pylons line up with the sun at summer solstice if you stand in the right place.
It's not actually winter but in the height of summer. The IR making it look like a snow scene. Taken near the now decommissioned nuclear power station at Bradwell, Essex.

A freezing cold winters night over the Pickering Nuclear Plant. Wind was howling so the long exposure was great to capture the scudding clouds.
The Dungeness nuclear power stations are a pair of non-operational nuclear power stations located on the Dungeness headland in the south of Kent, England.
Dungeness A is a legacy Magnox power station consisting of two 250 MWe reactors which were connected to the National Grid in 1965 and reached its end of life in 2006.
Dungeness B is an advanced gas-cooled reactor (AGR) power station consisting of two 520 MWe reactors, which began operation in 1983 and 1985. They were the first in a series of AGR reactors to be constructed across the UK. In March 2009, unexpected problems discovered during a maintenance shutdown on unit B21 resulted in the reactor remaining offline for nearly 18 months. In 2015, the plant received upgrades and was given a second ten-year life extension to 2028. In September 2018, as both units were shut down for a scheduled maintenance outage
This is a low-topped, or "mini-supercell" over northwest Missouri at sunset a few years back. These storms are interesting to me because they are much more compact than traditional supercells but capable of producing some destructive tornadoes at times.
Holaaaaaaaa finalmente ci siamo...da domai fosforescenti zomberos, e senza ombra di dubbio più ricchi...(il pil aumenta no?).
Scàjola ci ha rassicurato, il Cav. ce lo ha promesso, e tutti siamo come al solito piu' felici e contenti!
Ma ve l'immaginate?
Entriamo nell'era Nucleare!
Potremo avere anche noi la bella ed efficiente Centrale sotto il culo, no perchè nessuno si pone il dubbio di dove verranno costruite!
Siamo o non siamo il Pese del "not in my garden?"
Non riusciamo a fare una discarica, figuriamoci una centrale nucleare!
Già li vedo tutti in piazza, tutti in strada, il sindaco, il vescovo, le autorità, i bambini (che nonmancano mai), i pensionati, i sindacati, i (reduci) comunisti, tutti col fischietto e cartelloni in mano!
Paura eh?
Terrore negli occhi?
Incubo Chernobyl?
Io?
Io non sono totalmente contrario, però...c'è sempre un però.
Se come si è letto nei giorni scorsi, la mafia aveva messo le mani e il portafoglio, nella costruzione di impianti eolici, volete che non le metta sul nucleare?
Si fa scappare un affare simile?
Vedete, io mi fido della tecnologia, anche se non la capisco, ma non mi fido degli italiani!
Come la costruiranno?
Chi la costruirà?
Dove?
Con quali capitali?
Diffidente?
Si, ma non è mica colpa mia!
Ci sono diventato, conosco i miei polli, e so bene che dove c'è un piatto (per di piu' molto ricco) le forchette aumentano, e non sempre sono forchette d'argenteria garantita.
Intanto hanno deciso, l'abbiamo votato (e non mi venite a dire che nessuno l'ha votato che non ci credo!) e ora ci aspetta un futuro a fissione.
Ci fisseremo una volta per tutte che si deve mettere la crocetta sul posto giusto?
non lo so e nemmeno ci credo....
hola.....e illuminatevi....d'incenso!

So if you look at my previous upload, you can see how disparate the shoot was as the sky went from flat nothingness to this light show. It only lasted 10 minutes but that was enough to get this and a long exposure that I'll post at a later date.
BTW, just noticed the exif data for this shot and obviously it's wrong. I did a bit of a blend with the long exposure that I took just after this to get a slightly smoother water but as you'll see when I post that, it is literally faint overlay.
DRS' 88010 'Aurora' and 68004 'Rapid' pass the along the sea wall at Saltcoats with 6M23 from Hunterston to Sellafield. This service is used to move nuclear material from the Hunterston nuclear power stations to Sellafield for processing.
Hunterston in North Ayrshire is home to 2 nuclear power stations - Hunterston A and Hunterston B.
Hunterston A operated between 1964 and 1990 and is in the process of being decommissioned by NDA licensee Magnox Ltd. The decommissioning process is planned to end in 2072 at which point the buildings will be demolished and site cleared.
Hunterston B - operated by EDF Energy - is still active having started operations in 1976. The station has managed to remain operational for longer than initially expected (decommissioning was due to start in 2011), but operations will cease within the next few months with the decommissioning process planned to start no later than the 7th of January 2022.
Within the last decade Hunterston B has gained media attention after it was discovered that the number of fractures in the reactors exceeded the operational limit specified in the safety case. The reactors were shut down while investigations were carried out and a revised safety case submitted to the regulator. Each of the 2 reactors were subsequently restarted in August 2020 and September 2020 respectively.
It was my third try at this location: the first time I got lost in the dark forest. The second time I had 10h of continuous rain. And now it finally happend and I got a shot I dreamed about for a long time... Btw, this is me on the edge ;)
When I drove through the first fields covered with fog I couldn't believe my luck since this is the best possible condition one could ask for at the Wegelnburg. The crazy colors of the sunrise did the rest!
I am currently experiencing this crazy thing called 'work' for the first time which is why I don't have that much time left for photography... I hope we can still stay friends :D
The Sun's spectrum contains lines of ionized and neutral metals as well as very weak hydrogen lines. The V (Roman five) in the spectral class indicates that the Sun, like most stars, is a main sequence star. This means that it generates its energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium. There are more than 100 million G2 class stars in our galaxy. Once regarded as a small and relatively insignificant star, the Sun is now known to be brighter than 85% of the stars in the galaxy, most of which are red dwarfs

De Federale regering van België heeft besloten de kernreactoren van Electrabel Doel 1 en 2 langer open te houden. In eerste instantie zou de kerncentrale sluiten in 2015 maar dit is verlengd met 10 jaar. Doel 1 en 2 zijn samen goed voor 866 MWe.

Not sure who put it there and it's message remains elusive but it's artistic and creative value could not be overlooked.
