13 is a contradictory number lucky / unlucky
Birds flee from this dark landscape where nuclear power plants dominate with imposing and dangerous atmosphere
Were you in birdwatching tower in this unhappy local?

Hello, Judite. I was standing on a footbridge which crosses the motorway at the bottom of the picture. The cooling towers on the horizon are from a recently decommissioned coal powered electricity generating plant, which is awaiting demolition. I have lived in this area my whole life, and have many memories of cold winter mornings seeing these towers steaming away like an ocean liner. I must go there and take some more pictures before they disappear.

Incidentally, the depressingly dull, grey sky you see is normal. This is England: we’re all quite used to it.

Now I understand your deep relationship with that place and as you described it I immediately remembered "How Green Was My Valley" John Ford
I would like to see photos of this demolition.
It will be nostalgic for you, but an interesting evidence
Thank you very much for your reply , William

Very dreamy moment, Bill. Love how you employed negative space, and the processing.

Great contrast in scale of landscape and skyscape. The processing adds something, intensifies the vision somehow. I like this better than my recent clouds across the reservoir. This is gritty, has more drama.
