Another long exposure photo of Cottam Power Station showing the water vapour rising from the tops of the massive concrete coooling towers.

Very nice picture. Cool smoke. and to Betsy, Power stations are a beautiful thing. People seem to forget that without those we'd be reading books to candles and you'd be looking at photoblogs in your dreams. So some respect is due to the people who make these technological wonders possible.

I am working a lot in industrial environment, I can recognize here a very interesting architecture, in the style of B.+H. Becher. Great, great image.

I think this is a great photo and a great document also. Composition, b/w, etc. But also the image of the present moment of industrial civilisation. The contrast between the trees and this monster chimney is expressive enough.
Congratulations.

There is a stark beauty in this as well. A bit grainy, but suits the subject.
