Night Flames

So there I am, on a 7 hour drive back from my Bosque del Apache photography trip a week ago. It's just after midnight. I've been driving for five hours through the desert, and am I'm trying to keep my eyes open. Suddenly, out of the darkness appears this sight. As tired as I was, there was no choice but to get the shot. I'm just glad a cop didn't come by. After all, photographing a power plant in the middle of the night might seem a little odd.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Holbrook, Arizona Power Plant. :D

    While there are some technical flaws, you got what you went for - the visual effect is WOW clap.gif!

    Definitely worth the stop! Those power lines in the lower left let you know just how big those stacks are.
