My day in an image

High Voltage !

Had a walk around a power station today. Its quite a scary place because off the shear amount of voltage around you. Most of the equipment is maxed to 400,000 volts, and the sound is incredible. This is one of the first pylons that carry the electricity out from the station into substations then into homes. I took this photo right in the center of a pylon, which holds up cables carrying 25,000 volts. All in all was a very dangerous but interesting place.
