Love the CR site and love seeing everyone's work. Been lurking forever and decided to step up!

Gorgeous. Love the colors and the silhouette. Where was that taken? Welcome to CR :)

Thanks for the compliment and the welcome (and thanks to everyone else as well!)

This was shot in Kauai'i not far from Poipu.
Beautiful and welcome to the forum! Glad you stepped in! :)

This is Drax Power Station in Yorkshire, England and is coal fired. It has been sited by the Norwegians as responsible for the acid rain falling in Norway. I believe they are using a cleaner fuel now.

I think that it's interesting that it is within eye-shot of the other power station deeper into the depth of field!

That is what I noticed last night but was too sleepy to post. I am sure he did it by design. Sporgon's framing is always excellent! If it were me I would have discovered the second power plant during PP :P

Agreed! Sporgon does have a tendency to lean toward very fine composition!

So I had the good fortune to be around to see and capture this sight. Sometimes the heavens open up and you can see the light!
I somehow missed this image the first time through RPT, glad I did a retake, very nice capture indeed! ;)
Thanks Krob78. The scene lasted may be a minute or so and then it was gone. This is Newport Coast in the LA area looking to the ocean.

Thanks Ken & Rustom. The power station in the distance is Eggborough, one of three built on the Selby coalfields. Its inclusion gives the picture some depth. Without it the picture becomes more one dimensional. There is a large wind farm just off to the left. I'm sure there is a very good picture to be had of the modern and older power generators together, I just haven't found where it is yet !

I know it's a thread for sunsets, but this is sunrise over Constance Creek in Ottawa, Ontario...... part of my morning commute....

Shot with a 60D and a Sigma 10-20 lens, ISO320, 1/125 at 20mm F5.6
