Power To The People from duncmc via flickr.

The sun was setting as we drove into Mojave after a long day on the road, and the last rays were glinting off the slowly turning blades of the wind turbines up on the hill. By the time we had checked into the hotel and unpacked the bags the best of the light was gone. A quick walk up the road yielded a few shots of the wind farm silhouetted against the final light in the sky.

The two lighthouses at Spurn – the “Low Light” to the left which is the older building, and the “High Light” to the right, up on the point itself. Both lighthouses are no longer in service, replaced by electronic navigation beacons.

Taken at Brough Haven a month ago (film takes time a-cookin’).

An analogue take on this.

But That’s All It Was And Ever Will Be from duncmc via flickr.

Another of last night’s spectacular sunset – one of those that just keeps getting better as the sun goes down. I ended up taking about 65 pictures of maybe just three slightly different views.

I had to stop at Brough Haven again on the way home from work tonight. The sunset was a real corker. This long shot of the distant power stations belching their clouds smoke and steam drew my attention. As the sun sank below the horizon the lighting subtly shifted and altered. Of the many shots I took this one stood out from the rest due to the backlighting on those plumes. From left to right the three power stations are at Ferrybridge, Eggborough and Drax.

The Humber from Brough Haven, just after tonight’s sunset. Now the evenings are drawing in it’s pretty easy to get these on the way home from work.

Pylons as far as the eye can see. Taken just outside the village of Brantingham looking south west. The lampost marks the A63 running left to right beyond the hedge in the foreground.

They Might Be Giants #1 from duncmc via flickr.

I’m not sure whether he’s the leader of the pack or just a straggler. Or even a “he” come to think of it. All will be revealed in my next post.

The sun sets behind the Seafish Industry Authority’s offices on St. Andrew’s Quay (East) in Hull. The north tower of the Humber bridge is just visible in the distance to the right of the building, above the derelict lock gates in the foreground.

The lock gates are at the entrance to the now silted-up St. Andrew’s Dock, which was the main trawler dock in Hull until it was decommissioned in 1975. This must once have been one of the busiest parts of the city, but most of the dockside buidings here are now decaying and overgrown. The site is now earmarked for regeneration.

I took this picture in December 2006 and it featured in the BBC Humber Photo Galleries for that month.
