Huntly power station

The Huntly power station is situated on the bank of the Waikato River. This station is capable of generating 30% of NZ's electricity needs. It is operated by gas and coal fired steam turbine engines. Water is taken from the river and cooled to less than 25 degrees C before being returned to the river.A rather disappointing image because the day was so grey!

Interesting shot in light of some recent debate in the Australian parliament.

@s4sayer yes - I think morning light would show the detail better.

Interesting image with lovely detail and framing Dianne:)

Wouldn't want to have a power station look too bright. LOL

Scene looks peaceful in spite of the industrial chimney look!

[Pat Knowles]

I never knew how this place worked, I never asked before just saw the steam coming out so it's good to know the way it works!

Very topical Dianne, lots of hoo-hah here about coal-fired power stations and about coal in general.

It is an interesting place. I am sure it would look amazing in the right light and with reflections too?
