Wonderful silhouette work! The colors are gorgeous.

One of my husbands built power stations. I never throught they were very pretty but you sure changed my mind with this!

Stellar silhouetting and sky colors depicted in this momentous capture, Marilyn. While employed by a power company back in the 1960s, I drove to one of those huge skeletal power plants in Huntington Beach to do some work, which involved taking an elevator up to the top floor, which was constructed like an Erector set, and that is when I discovered I had acrophobia.

Given the right lighting..most everything will look better...especially as they say..near closing time..:)

hey MO! looks good, yeah id have to say that it looks better in this light, haha.

beautiful sunset....=]

It works well against the golden background. Excellent. Aloha

Wonderful capture and silouhette, Excellent well done..

Power from fossil fuels is the essence of engineering today. There is one other aspect I have been made aware of and that is the big man in sports. When I was a boy big men were slow and quite lazy as they were constrained to the overall energy of smaller men. Now they can flourish. You can photograph what they emit if you wish.

Makes it look quite romantic.

Wow, making a power station looks gorgeous is a skill! Well done Marilyn! :)

super shot

Yes, I always thought in the right light you could forget what those big plants were for and imagine that they were a magic city...great work on this one!

Beautiful silhouetting of objects. At least the tall palm trees are managing to survive around the power plant.

Whatever it belches out in the daytime can't be that bad Marilyn, looking at all the palm trees that is. Or have they planted artificial ones to make it look that way. Devious people that own these sort of places, care more about profit than the environment most of the time. I must say you have made it more palatable in this light, quite a romantic setting actually. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!

beautiful colors warm hug, Linda

love the colors ;cool looking

Superb colors here...great silhouettes also! As for what may spew from that chimney...well...hopefully it's noting more toxing that steam...if it's white, that's probably what it is, though that is not exactly your typical steam-vent cooling tower. Anyway...enough of that...great work here!

your photo (as many of your commenters agree) is beautiful, and shows that even these terrifying industrial behemoths have a strange & desolate beauty. An artist will find that beauty...Strange isn't it: The fact that I can sit in my living room and post this on a site that you'll read from another place on earth is possible because of those horrible industrial behemoths; and our great challenge is to find a way to do this without destroying half the earth in the process. In the meantime—until we find those solutions (and they're there!)—you've made a work of art out of a pretty desolate place. I've often felt that these industrial landscapes were primal and beautiful, if we could only see them as sheer 'visuals'. An mysterious, enticing shot.

I love the lighting here and I saw that same thing when I was in Huntington and you are most certainly right, it slews a lot of something.

Great shot. I am a big fan of the silhouettes. It's amazing what a difference the morning light can make on things.
