Gasworks at sunset

[Forbiddenbiker]

Spotted these clouds the other evening being lit by the setting sun in front of them, not behind...Just had time to dash to a suitable spot and grabbed these.

There taken at Becton Gas works John, very close to the Newham sewage works... just follow your nose. ;)

Thanks.

[Dark Star]

Becton as in where the North Circ meets the A13? If so its a stones throw from in in Woodford Green !

[Forbiddenbiker]

Aye thats the one John, ten minutes away from you....longer in a car. :D

[chewyuk]

i really like these

[Dark Star]

I often wondered where the smell came from when I visited Gallions Reach (I hate that mispelling!)

Such beauty in ugliness - wow, poetic on a Wednesday night!

Cheers FB

Both quite outstanding, but no.1 even moreso.

[Dark Star]

Agreed Hoodi - more sense of the landscape in no. 1

Thanks guys, There's minimal editing on these, just a slight curves adjustment, a tad of saturation and some cropping at the base of the top one....mainly a large fence and more shadow.

I should try converting and extra Raw file with high tones and then blending together in PS...But the original printed out so nicely.... I couldn't be bothered. :lol:

Lovely shots, quite outstanding indeed :thumbs: Very colourful.

[Catdaddy]

Those colours are outstanding!

[BobR]

These rock! :clap:

[Janice]

Wonderful shots....cant you pretend it was a temple or something! ;)

[Forbiddenbiker]

A temple to the gods of rust and flaky paint...is that any better. :D

Even with the girders and steel, I just knew one of you girls wouldn't be able to resist the pretty colours ;) ...thanks Janice.


Thanks everyone. :)
