This is my kind of photography, an image close to my heart. I don't think it has the 'punch' a lot of my other work does, but thats ok, because I much prefer this style of work, personally! I do love my other work, but this is more of an image true to myself than some of the others Ive produced. It was a beautiful evening :-)
Although the surge wasn't as bad as I was expecting( Due to media hype ) I still had a great day taking some snaps, and watching the excitement on peoples faces and they are about to be swept in to the sea :p
Fantastical Landscape. Or imagine whatever you can to describe this stuff in my old favorite tiadal pool.

It is time the lies around nuclear power cease.
Clean?
Come on. Radioactive wastes? Clean? And without only mentioning them, the embodied CO2 emissions of building, running, maintaining and decommissioning a power plant; the mining, transporting, processing and disposing of the uranium; make it not to be so much of a carbon neutral energy.
(note: The half-life of Uranium 238 is 4.5 billion year!)
Sustainable?
Uranium is the same as petrol, it'll run out. With all the power plants being built around the world, the uranium will face the same crisis as petrol in the next 20 to 50 years. When we think of the period of time we'll have to deal with the wastes, that seems to be an expensive price to pay for an energy we used for less than an hundred years.
Cost-effective?
When considering the whole cost of production of the energy, included the embodied cost of operation, the wind power has been found to be twice cheaper than nuclear power. And it's not the only one! Much cleaner, sustainable and cost-effective, but so little used, are tidal and geothermal power... and the resources are sufficient and near unlimited. Nuclear is only profitable for the ones selling the technology to developing countries.
We have so many better alternatives, why wasting time with such dirty energy?

Il est temps que les mensonges autour du nucléaire cessent.
Propre ?
Sérieusement ? Des déchets nucléaire ? Propres ? Et sans bien même parler de ceux-là, la quantité de CO2 rejeté pour la construction, le fonctionnement, la maintenance et le démantelement du'une centrale ; plus le minage, transport, l'utilisation et le traitement des déchets de l'uranium, en font une énergie loin d'être propre et de loin pire que la plupart des energies renouvellables.
(note: La demi-vie de l'Uranium 238 est de 4,5 milliard d'années !)
Durable ?
Comme pour le pétrole, l'uranium va s'épuiser. Avec toutes les centrales construites ou en projet, l'uranium fera face à la même crise que le pétrole dans 20 à 50 ans. Quand on pense au temps qu'il faudra pour éliminer ces déchets, c'est cher payé pour une énergie qu'on aura même pas utilisé 100 ans.
Rentable ?
Quand on considère le coût global de production de l'énergie, l'éolienne s'est avéré être deux foix moins cher que le nucléaire. Et ce n'est pas la seule ! Bien plus propre, durable et rentable, mais si peu utilisées, on trouve l'énergie marémotrice et géothermique... et les ressources y sont suffisantes et presque infinies. Le nucléaire n'est rentable que pour ceux qui vendent la technologie aux pays en voie de dévelopemment.
Nous avons aujourd'hui de bien meilleures et viables alternatives, pourquoi perdre notre temps avec une énergie si sale et instable ?

The tidal pools at Haystack. I try to be as careful as I can when walking around this eco system, making sure not to touch the rocks or place my tripod near any living creature. Then to look around at all the people climbing on the rocks, taking sea creatures and putting them in bags.. uhg.. makes me want to hurt someone.

Low tide along the Rio Iro in Chiclana de la Frontera, Spain.
Railfreight large logo grey Class 47/3 47350 'Scorpion' had charge of the 6B19 14:15 Exeter Riverside Yard to Cardiff Tidal Sidings general merchandise freight recorded passing Alexandra Dock Junction Yard, Newport.
The loaded OTA wagons of raw timber were for onward delivery to the Shotton Paper Company as part of the trainload contract service that operated at that time.
A product of Brush Falcon Works, D1831 was delivered in April 1965. In due course, the dual green livery was replaced by BR standard blue and then the large logo Railfreight grey as illustrated. It was unofficially named 'Scorpion' in November 1991 when allocated to Tinsley Depot.
In 1999 the locomotive was rebuilt to become Freightliner 57005 and in due course owned by Cotswold Rail and then Advenza Freight until the company ceased trading in late 2009. The locomotive was then aquired by West Coast Railways in 2011 and is stored at Carnforth.
