A blot on the landscape

Cockenzie power station, East Lothian

A good exposure of a brutal piece of architecture, but I do feel it's missing the necessary impact somehow.

I have to agree with Tom - That is a great picture of the powerstation but somehow the impact of the structure is softened by the light and perhaps the sense of space afforded by the clear skies.

In fact your picture highlights the slight nod to aesthetics that the architect allowed - the elegant chimneys and the step effect of the horizontal roof lines sort of balance each other - or am I just weird?

A well exposed shot of the power station but the title suggested "context" to me.

Be good to see some of the landscape that it's "blotting"
