Photographer’s Note
This is the nuclear power station of Cattenom in Northwestern France (on the border togermany and Luxembourg) photographed on a Sunday afternoon against the sun. I don't particularly like this photo, but the tall sky, the strange backlight and the steam from the cooling towers all adds to some kind of statement that I couldn't pass by.
Technically I resized, saturated a bit, sharpened and noise-filtered.

Le ciel au niveau des vapeurs est très jolie, ca nous donne de belle couleurs, le sujet etant la cheminée fait qu'une bonne partie du ciel est en plus. Personellement j'aurai coupé une patie des nuages gris et présenter la photo en panoramique peut- etre. Sinon c'est une belle composition.

Hi Per, it is well that people can this see, the vapour of these cold towers once. The photograph is perhaps something dark but there sits much depth in.
Nice composition.

The composition is maybe unusual but gives the right mood to the picture. A day before statement.

Is it a message on Nuclear, it could be due to the importance you give to the sky where the steam join the clouds.
Very well done
