PS10 Solar Tower, outside Seville

Acres of mirrors are focused on a tower which is heated to very high temperatures and used to generate electricity. It uses nuclear power plant technology for the cooling system which is superheated pressurized water. The superheated water is stored in a storage tank, allowing operation at night and on overcast days.

I have never seen or heard of a solar tower, but it sure looks really cool. I love the overall texture and great color palette. ~BV~
