The solar furnace at Odeillo, with mirrors

After yesterday's shot I wanted to get a shot which included the mirrors, so did a bit of walking around the area this morning and found this vantage point. The mirrors on the hillside are called 'heliostats' and move to follow the sun, reflecting sunlight onto the concentrator at the bottom of the hill.
Lovely & fascinating - fav!
