Energy Plant/Reflections

Now defunct coal-generated energy plant, Rochester, New York

On our recent trip to New York to visit a sick relative, we spent a couple of mornings out making photos.  (Hospital visiting hours didn't start till 11 AM.)

In this photo, I like the blues, greens and tans and the hard building bricks reflected in the soft water. It was an incredibly beautiful morning.

  3. Your reflection shot is lovely, Camera Girl.
    Its great that all the black soot at the top of the stack is not going into the air any more.

    I hope all goes well for your family member.

  18. Despite the industrial nature, it is beautiful! I am imaging it as a castle instead of a plant.

  19. I do hope your relative is getting better, so sorry.
    You somehow managed to make an old factory look beautiful :) Love the softness you described here...

  20. Ah, but can one get inside the place to explore the defunct corridors and conveyors and smokestacks ? Looks like a great urban exploration site...

  25. Nice picture. I thought it looked familiar as Battersea Power Station, London but seems there's a twin.

  26. This picture actually reminds me of my visit to Chernobyl..
    Very nice reflection in the river.

  27. A wonderful old structure, a gorgeous and colorful reflection in the water, and a family of ducks swimming out on a little outing. For what more could one ask when walking along with a camera. You definitely hit the jackpot with this one. Happy Sunday. genie

  28. I love the water in the shot...I actually like the whole shot but I think it is the water that really pulls me in.
