If at first you don't succeed

These are really nice. I like the second and third shots best. I know those odd little obsessions, I have more than one myself.

Thanks Caine. If I remember to whip the camera out at the appropriate moment every time, I might go for every season. The one I'm missing is a shot I saw too late with the field in the foreground livid with yellow oilseed rape.

*Hums intro tune of the Simpsons*

I pass the one on the M62 3 times a week, current policies on photographing whilst driving (which I feel are ridiculous and nanny state esq incidentaly) prevent me from posting the pictures I have.

Drax Joe? I always thought that was a great name for a potentially lethal installation....

By the way, anyone care to play spot the difference between today's shot (1) and last week's (2)?

Drax B in fact (my dad was a bit of a powerstation geek)I find them fascinating, if rather ugly....we used to call them weather factories as kids, due to all the steam rising and forming clouds

There are two? Hang on...

I think there are actually 3...I've seen coal trucks saying "coal for Drax C" on them....unless of course they have multiple furnaces...in which case my dad was winding me up (which wouldn't be out of character)

Is that the one on the A1/M62 on the way up to Leeds, Harrogate and Wetherby?

No, the pictured power station, is Fiddlers Ferry which is on the Mersey estuary near Widnes.

yep, just before junction 30 on the M62, but there are several in that valley.

[edit] doh, I mean the one I'm talking about, not the one pictured above!

hey I just spotted a difference, there appears to be a pylon missing in todays shot!

they are fascinating!

hope you are better now

Congratulations Joe, you spotted the difference. Wonder where that went??

Drinking ginseng Viv, so getting there..

OJ - Ah right. It looked like the one that I think Joe passes.

Joe - The one you're talking about is on your left if headed north and about 20ish minutes short of the Harrogate junction?

hmm on the m62 it's on the right heading west 1 junction before the Leeds/M1/M621 junction.

hmmm the one I'm thinking of I pass driving up to Harrogate from here. I go up the A1, past the Leeds turnoff I think, and get off at Wetherby. I'm sure it's on the left as I go because I use it as one of those "Whew, finally I'm almost there" markers :)

Ferrybridge maybe?

Does this Handy PDF map showing the locations of power stations in the UK help?

Haha, thanks OJ, yes I think it may well be Ferrybridge :)

i have some old slides of one being demolished years ago. The explosion was soooo good. I want to blow lots of building up now...

sorry not got an emaul address but if the power station is taken near m62 or a1 it is eggborough power station as ferry bridge as eight cooling towers and two chinmeys and drax as twelve cooling towers and one chimney as eggborough as eight cooling towers and one chimney ence the power station pictures ps i ahve lots of power staion pictures and study them lots anyone else have any questions pleae ask i am most willing and very happt to help paul walker scunthorpe
