'All quiet on the Western front'
Photo Information
Didcot power station seen yesterday from Streatley Hill. Not a puff of smoke in sight (nor a microwatt of energy) now that it has been 'mothballed' for political reasons !

Many thanks, Nigel.
Having passed by here many many times in the past when the power station was in full use I felt quite saddened by this sight and just HAD to record it !
Out of interest the power station is over 10km away from where I took this shot and the Sigma 18-250mm was at full stretch (250mm). Even so I did an extensive crop to get the image as posted so I'm very pleased with the outcome, and this lens continues to be 'glued' to my K-r !
Best regards
Peter

I like this, although I can't really explain why.
If it hadn't been for the clouds I might have thought crop the sky, but those clouds seem to work and give it another layer.
Like you I find the 18-250mm (Pentax version) very convenient. Often I'll return having lugged around a camera bag with other lenses all day, never to have taken off the 18-250mm.

I like the bright heat-haze almost shimmering through the distance, and the high sun blue cast.
