Off-shore on Scroby Sands, off Gt.Yarmouth. England
Knabs Ridge, nr Harrogate, North Yorkshire
And a nuke for good measure
Sizewell B, Suffolk
As a matter of interest, Sizewell A stopped generating electricity in 2006. Defuelling will finish in 2013 and the final site clearance is planned for 2088-89.

Nice you caught a rainbow in the second photo also.
I was passing the site in my car when I noticed the rainbow. I stopped by the grass verge, wound down the window and photographed it without getting out of the car – a bit lazy.
That’s not Off shore, that’s Near shore!!! I hate them, I hate them sooo much, I’m terribly sorry. but there’ll be noe like it for this post. 😦 Can you forgive me? 🙂
The Windparks are destroying the natural beauty of the seascape, especially in the North of Norfolk, in an area of outstanding naturaö beauty, I can’t believe it, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. 🙂
Oooohm, that felt good. Now it’s out.
🙂
Better out than in. 🙂
Do you feel the same way about nuclear / coal / oil fired power stations or is it just wind farms?
🙂
🙂 🙂 – nice to evoke such passion from my photos!
I used to have a problem with them but I quite like them now. As for spoiling the beauty of the scenery – I’m afraid humanity is ruining the environment in so many ways, it’s about time we took a more direct hit to our sensibilities. 😉
For balance, I’ve added a nuclear power station. 😉
Hahahaha! I’ll take the turbines and a rainbow any day!
🙂
Well I like wind turbines (and rainbows). We need more wind turbines before the fossil fuels run out. I would be very happy to have one on my farm. I actually think they are quite beautiful.
🙂
You have apparently started a larger discussion about energy here!
I hate nuclear power – just look how much damage the few accidents until now created. And what about the waste problems, should we just leave it to future generations to solve these (if it can be solved at all in a proper way?!)
However, I think windmills are beautiful, and they are symbols of clean and sustainable energy.
But there is surely not much wind turbines on the top photo?! 😉
🙂 – the bigger downer on wind turbines is lack of wind (or too much).
your words say it all Stephen..
Pictures set the scene but words guide?
Nice shots. Obviously a divisive subject, but in general I think wind farms are quite pleasing to look at – they’re certainly photogenic. And I’d rather that than a nuclear plant and all the problems that go with it (especially the unsolved problems of safe waste disposal), or more coal powered stations.
I guess the alternative is ‘switch it off’.
Isn’t that wonderful you caught the rainbow!
I was in my car and had to drive back along the road to get it aligned properly (or at least how I thought it should be for my photograph).
