Shot from the car.

The Selby power station, just off the M62. Taken as we were driving past.

I found out this:

"Drax power station at Selby, North Yorkshire. Drax, the largest plant of its kind in Europe, generates 7% of Britain's electricity. But Reclaim Power claims it is also the single biggest emitter of greenhouse gases in the UK, pumping out 20.8m tonnes of carbon dioxide every year."

The dark, intimidating sky really makes this for me, I can’t imagine it would be half as dramatic if it had been taken against a clear sky on a sunny day.

Very depressing (well done :-)).

I like the clouds of the unseasonably bad weather behind...
the cause of the unseasonably bad weather in front.

Mmmm climate change, isn't it great!

Super colours and capture.

This one is Ferrybridge, not Drax, by the way.

You've tagged it as pollution but the pic only shows steam from the cooling towers.

Are we to see a pic of your kettle tagged likewise?
