There are some who find the occasional views of power stations 30 miles to the east to be the highlight of a walk on the moors to the west of Sheffield. This could be because they are walking on the monoculture grouse moors where the immediate treeless surroundings provide little worth looking at.
The power stations are not always visible of course and I for one am grateful for that although the sight of Lincoln Cathedral ten miles further on is always welcome. This morning an unusual sunrise illuminated both the power stations and, interestingly another more recent development, several wind turbines. In the distance these might be more acceptable than any attempts to install them closer. This reminds me that a planning application has been published this week for a 15 metre wind turbine at Whitelow Farm.
Later in the week, and more to the east the two can be seen together:
