The end of the day

This is a shot of Ratcliffe Power Station taken yesterday.

I was on my way home from a day with an old friend in the Peak District when I spotted that Ratcliffe was steaming heavily in the gloom. Knowing that "sunset" was a few minutes away, I quickly diverted to Long Lane and found a new vantage point to shoot from. The lights were just coming on at the Power Station.

Good large.

whoa, that's insane, great capture

[Spanner]

This is excellent. Great shot.

[Mark Prince]

What a lot of steam, thats one busy Power Station. Lovely B&W.

[Dragonfly Explorer ( Rhoiz )]

great Black and white

[Alexander]

The way the light is captured above the steam is really creepy, almost post-apocalyptic!

[Endre Majoros]

What a gloomy shot! Great!

[Jocasta]

Better than the master himself!

Amazing -- talk about a dramatic shot, this has it all!

[Andy Roe]

Dramatic!

[KWind]

Intense!

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Wow! Dark, satanic mills (OK, cooling towers :-D ) indeed! Yes, makes great viewing magnified - those clouds of vapour are almost solid and I love the line of lights under the towers.

[Gail]

That is so good.... dark, dramatic, wow! You are printing a book with all of these, right?

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

I love this Sean, the little lights coming on and the great towers belching forth their dark clouds of steam - great stuff!!

[Hubregt Visser]

Very dramatic! Beautiful composition and tones. Fav.

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

[Ivan]

That's moody, ominous, and like the Black Country all over again. Super rendering, Sean.

[Ingrid Budge]

I'm so horribly behind....again. Love this Sean, you add such a dramatic feel - love the contrast

[Ross Walker]

Many of your photos of this place are industrial but beautiful. This one is threatening. Amazing the different moods you can pull out of this place.

[Lisa Stein]

The drama here is palpable. wonderful capture and processing to create a dark, almost foreboding, mood. FAV

[Lee]

Brilliant shot, a lot of steam and very dramatic.

[fife]
