Solar Sunset Juxtaposition

A sunset panorama of the Solar Farm in Ivanpah California. It's a series of long exposures. The Creosote bush AKA Larrea Tridentada serves as the foreground with the Solar Farm & Mountain as the middle ground. And the sky is the background.

 

In May 2014 the news media claims it's the largest in the world. Nevertheless, it consists of 3 huge solar towers that collect sun rays from the several hundred thousand mirrors on the ground. The intense gamma rays vaporize any foul that come between the mirrors and the solar collector towers. Ironically it's built on the California Nevada boarder. And it sends generated electricity over a hundred miles into California. Nevada has yet to incorporate solar or wind factories even though it has more sunny days than most of the states in the South West US.

 

 

Thanks for viewing.
