PICK OF THE PICS - No. 7

The last in this sporadic Pick of the Pics series, a few days ago, showed a picture of Ironbridge Power Station, seen from my house, pushing Goodness knows how many tons of Carbon Emissions into the atmosphere - but doing it very beautifully. Hence the picture.

Like buses coming in twos, today's picture is another one taken this afternoon from the same place, but in very different conditions. Having seen Man's puny attempt last week, this is the Almighty's version of the scene.

IRONBRIDGE POWER STATION - THE POT OF GOLD

Cue Rain, Cue Wind, Cue Yellow Brick Road, Cue a very different colour pallette.

PICK OF THE PICS No. 6

I don't seem to have put up one of my own pictures onto this site for quite a while.

We live in the country, and have a distant, easterly view of Ironbridge. It has a power station there, and this evening, just as the sun was setting, I turned away from the sunset, and the scene which faced me was the one below.

Sometimes the results of Man's efforts in the landscape can look rather impressive.
