When built at 370 feet high- it was the highest stack in the southern hemisphere- but soon overtaken by other stacks built by the same company (Port Kembla) who established a Melbourne office.
Sunset behind the Buffalo Ridge wind farm taken near Lake Benton, Minnesota.
Last week I drove to a workshop in Madison, SD, with Kristin Lamberty (one of my Computer Science colleagues here at UMM). On the way, we went along the east side of the Buffalo Ridge wind farm, and there was a really gorgeous sunset behind them as we pulled into Lake Benton, MN.
KK was kind enough to let me stop and take some photos. This is one :-).
I haven't actually messed with the colors here, except for deliberately underexposing the photo in the first place to saturate the colors. It really was a very cool sunset.
Last hours of coal and oil-fired power generation before Didcot A Power Station closes. Gas-powered Didcot B continues, but does not use the cooling towers. The last of the steam before shut-down the next day.
Airborne for the first time in over a year last weekend, I shot this as we departed M21's (the Muhlenburg County Airport in Greenville, Kentucky) runway 6, flying an extended straight-out leg before we turned south to return to Springfield, Tennessee. Pilot friend Aaron Boyd and I had flown to Greenville to complete some aerial assignment work and took the opportunity on departure to shoot TVA's Paradise coal-fired/steam-powered electric generation plant to the east (2-23-2013).
I'll be adding additional images from this trip as I'm able. I continue to be away the vast majority of the week these days while on the road but hope everyone's doing well. :-)
Own electricity through solar energy. Since very recently, there is also a wind turbine at the camp.

The image shows a massive concrete dam in Kaprun, Salzburg, Austria, with water cascading powerfully over its steep spillway into the Kapruner Ache river below. The water flows in a smooth sheet down the dam before crashing into a frothy surge at the base. Surrounding the structure, lush green trees and dense vegetation frame the scene, contrasting with the gray concrete. Above, the sky is partly cloudy with patches of blue peeking through, adding depth to this striking blend of engineering and nature.
A beautifully produced brochure, resplendent in a presentation envelope, and issued by the County of London Electric Supply Company to commemorate the opening of their new power house (power station) on the banks of the River Thames at Creekmouth in Barking. This great event took place on 19 May 1925 and, one strongly suspects, was the one time Royalty set foot at Creekmouth! The brochure has a potted history of the company that has been incorporated in 1891 to serve parts of South West London and some inner parishes adjacent to the City of London itself. These two supply areas were the reasoning behind their first two power stations at City Road, Islington and in Wandsworth.
The UK's fledgling electricial supply industry was rather an unholy mess with not just a multiplicity of supply undertakings (private and municipal) but also a wide range of supply voltages and phases. Some consolidation took place and the County of London Company was typical of the larger players in that they extended their supply area serviving a multiplicity of administrative areas that did not develop undertakings of their own as well as becoming 'bulk' suppliers of power to 'independent' undertakings. By the early 1920s their supply area had grown to cover much of East London and South Essex as seen on the map.
The construction fo Barking "A" as it would become known was first mooted in post-WW1 years to firstly increase capacity and also to ensure more thermally efficient production of supply than their older and smaller stations could obtain. The riverside plant allowed easy delivery of the coal fuel by river and allowed for the necessary cooling water. The designers and consultants were Merz & McLellan, the bulk of the equipment supplied by Vickers of Barrow and the turbines were by C A Parsons.
Barking was also effectively the outcome of increased co-operation the company had with three other closely connected concerns - the City of London Electric Lighting Company; the South London Electric Supply Corporation Limited; and the South Metropolitan Electric Light and Power Company Limited. This cooperation was something increasingly demanded of the industry by increased legislation and in 1926 the Central Electricity Board was formed. The CEB not only instituted the National Grid, interconnection requiring a national standard of production, but also 'designated' efficient stations. City Road was not, and closed in 1929, Wandsworth was and Barking saw expansion with the construction of the "B" section stage that was commissioned in 1933 and reached full capacity in 1939. The Company was nationalised in 1948 and it fell to the state to construct what was Barking "C" in 1954. Barking "A" was decommissioned in 1969, "B" in 1976 and finally "C" in 1981. The whole site was then cleared.
The brochure has a number of colour plates and sketches by artist Norman Howard as well as photographs of the plant. It is spledidly printed and produced by one of the better printing houses of the day, the esteemed George W Jones, at "The Sign of the Dolphin" in Gough Square, Fleet Street.
This aerial view shows the first section constructed amidst the then desolation of Creekmouth along with the extent of the site acquired for future expansion. It also shows the quays and coal wharves constructed to allow coal importation into the power station.

A slightly different approach to one of my aerial images of TVA's Paradise power plant from our flight to Greenville, Kentucky a couple of weekends ago (2-23-2013). I bracketed several .raw exposures and fed them to Photomatix first (HDR), then finished up in my old PS7 and Noiseware (I am still not happy with the artifacts in the previous edit I posted and need to go back and either do it over or see if adding some noise, then making a run through Noiseware will smooth some banding I created in the sky...). I wasn't thrilled by this at first but it's grown on me over the weekend. Any thoughts/comments regarding the HDR treatment are certainly welcome, good or bad... ;)
A double page from the 1946 MEG book showing three power stations that MEG were involved in either constructing or supplying equipment to. Shanghai Power Station is most likely to have dated to pre-WW2 and formed part of the "International Settlement" of Shanghai. There are some amazing photos regarding the municipal electricity department , the later Shanghai Power Company and Clifford Rees Webb here ietarchivesblog.org/2018/03/29/clifford-rees-webb-and-the...
The other stations shown are of Midlands interest. The massive Ironbridge A station, in the Severn Gorge adjacent to the town and bridge of that name, was one of the eraliest 'grid' stations developed by one of the pre-nationalisation 'Joint Electricity Authorities' in which both municipal and company electricity undertakings partook so as to bring the benefits of larger and more modern generation equipment in the late 1920s and '30s. Ironbridge A was replaced with the later "B" station that is currently decommissioned. The last image shows the cooling water pools constructed by MEG for the jewel in the City of Birmingham Electricity Department's crown, Hams Hall. The first stage, to be Hams Hall A, was opened in 1929 with the additional B station coming on stream in 1942. A later, third C station was constructed in 1956/8 by the nationalised industry.
Last days of coal and oil-fired power generation before Didcot A Power Station closes. Gas-powered Didcot B continues, but does not use the cooling towers. No more steam, and a lot less weather! It really was a cloud machine.

The old Adirondack Power and Light power generation plant, now used for storage by the Cranesville Block Company.
Or just held to ransom.
We have given you all this power, but at the flick of a switch or the shutting off of a valve we can just as easily take it away from you all, we have come to rely so heavily on what we are supplied with from others now I wonder just how many of us would survive if they decided to take it away again.
Experimental power generating system using the waves. Looks a bit odd - science fiction - or a small oil drilling rig!

The Paiton power generation complex is a group of several modern coal fired power plants in Java (Indonesia)
All too often we tend to forget that our electricity is not such a "clean" energy.: Most of it comes from power plants just like this one, burning fossil fuel and releasing huge amount of CO2 in our atmosphere.

What an amazing piece of American Ingenuity. I was totally awestruck as I walked on, around, in, and above this amazing place. This shot is taken from the Mike O'Callaghan Pat Tillman memorial bridge.
The Dam itself resides in Black Canyon and is 726 feet tall. It spans the Colorado River and Lake Mead with Nevada from the middle of the bridge to the viewers' left and Arizona to the viewers' right.
The bridge from which this shot is taken is nearly 900 ft tall.
Another interesting note, if you look at Lake Mead you will notice a white rim around the the the entire lake. This indicates how much the water level has decreased in the lake over the last 15 or so years due to drought conditions in the southwest.
