    This time there were less clouds,
    but you can see a wind turbine reflection instead.

      I like the composition and golden sunlight very much. The idea of a cloud factory is very appealing, too. It brings to mind a Kate Bush song called 'Cloudbusting'.

      although powerstations of this size are annoying: they have sort of their own aestetics. Love the title, light, and the vignetting of the upper border ;-)

      Een schaduw van de energie van de toekomst?

      Great image, wonderful light and colours.
      Now, why am I thinking Pink Floyd?

      wind turbine turns the cloud the other way, looks like it; great lighting here

      It reminds me of Pink Floyd & Animals.

      Really nice industrial picture! This is not the first time I hear about a cloud factory, though... sat in a bus passing by this paper factory when I overheard an extremely excited four-year-old boy telling his dad he had seen a *real* cloud factory! I think the whole idea is both extremely cute and poetic :)

      Mooi licht zeg!

      Moet ook opeens aan de video Cloudbusting van Kate Bush denken ;)

      Met recht een briljante titel in de hergebruik :) Die sunneschijnsels zijn echt super strak.

      Ben daar nog nooit geweest volgens mij...... wellicht eens doen. Kun je m markeren op de map?

      I sometimes wonder why we readily see ugliness in industrial scenes but beauty in Nature. You show the beauty in both, Ellen.

      By the way, regarding your Quote of the Day ("To hold the same views at forty ..."), in similar vein I rather like William Blake's
      "The man who never changes his opinions is like stagnant water, and breeds reptiles in the mind."
      :-)

      Happy New Year!
