Power Plant Sunrise
12.21.04

I'm tying up a few loose ends with my PAD project today.

I pass down this road at least a few times during the week,
and it neve fails that there is a nice sunrise behind the
power plant only on days that I don't have my camera with me,
or I do and I'm running late as hell.

The other side of the coin will be that I have my camera with me and have plenty of time to spare,
but there will be thick clouds over the lake, blocking the sunrise.

The original shot called for planning it so that the sun is behind the smoke stacks,
but as the year rolls by, the earth is doing goofy things and the shot doesn't line up anymore.

Either way, I still got a shot that I'm happy with,
but I will try and reshoot it one day when the sun is lined up.

I agree with the others. I like that it is so different from the normal sunsets, which are usually over some landscape, or water. Never thought that a sunset behind powerplants and such could be appealing, you proved me wrong.

You surely hit this on the head!

This is a cracker, everything right in this one.

I like this. It has feeling and the tones are wonderful.

I find this to be an excellent shot.. The wires and poles and repeating figures totally add to this.. I think it's perfect just the way it is.. very well done.

if you can't get rid of the wires from the background, turn them into the main subject like in this very fine image.
