Torness Nuclear Power Station

East Lothian

My picture of Miss Santa in a bikini got me almost 3,000 views on PBase yesterday.
I wonder if pictures of nuclear power stations are as appealing as pictures of girls? Let's see...
This is the Torness nuclear power station, which is a twin advanced gas reactor (AGR) design.

Nice comp I'm surprised you can get this close to that place. Like Glenn, here is another tick towards 3,000. Lol.

I have a feeling I could not get this close to a Nuclear Power station in the U.S. if I did, and I pulled out my camera I would have security chasing me down. Perhaps I am wrong but that is my feeling. Funny how things seem more relaxed in other parts of the world. I fear we are losing many of our freedoms (bit by bit) in the land of the free.

Beautiful, rich color. I tend to prefer Miss Santa's curves to the power point angles though.

Looks like a great cycle path. V.

That's probably where Miss Bikini got her tan from :o) " commonly known as Radiation Burn "

Interesting facility. And great light.

Its a beautiful shot!!! Even without the bikini ;) V

when did you get a D800- is this new to you?

Sharp clear outlines of the building well defined in that light against the clouded sky.V

Even though it's an excellent composition, it doesn't make me gasp :-)
Gary Winters02-Jan-2014 23:37
Disappointed. Not a bikini in sight. :(

Having gotten that out of my system, I will say this is a good pic. I like the composition. If I can't look at a bikini, this is second best. :)

It's a lovely capture, but I doubt will get the attention of Miss Santa.

It's the lack of a santa hat on the roof of this installation, surely?
Ted Aanensen02-Jan-2014 18:31
hmmm, maybe if you renamed it "Topless" Nuclear Power Station... perhaps not.... LOL

Weather and setting sure makes fora beautiful scene.
They let you take pictures of installations as such??
(and here's one more view towards that 3000.)

Its a great shot along the pathway, does not make me shiver like the ones in the sea!
