My dad once gave me some advice.
He said that, as you walk along the road, most people look only along the road in the direction they are aiming for, and miss all the beautiful scenery to the sides....

Great pic! :)
lol! The Three sisters in the distance
I was looking for the three fates in the sky.
So from the Sussex coast? visiting friends on the Kent Coast?
Used to spend time in Folkestone & Hythe, used to pass by Hastings & Rye - no, don't ask me when, ohh sometime last century, even last millennium it seems.
Wishing you a fine day!
Thanks Clash - glad you like it! I took loads of this scene, and couldn't decide which one to put up. In some ways, some of the others are better... but I like the way it sort of looks like the clouds are smoke coming from the chimneys.
Quasar - Remember I said I got lost? (I think I said in the post before last...) Well, this was on that 'round trip' :-) The place I was heading for was actually near Margate, but I forgot to take a left somewhere. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have got this shot!
So, Quasar9, I know you're a time traveller (which maybe why it was so long ago you passed by Hasings and Rye), but was this on a physical journey, or did you live thereabouts?
Great shot, but how sad we build 'em!
I have link'd U at my site!

red-dirt-girl... always a saucer out for kitty friends! :-) especially ones who visit so often...
Starbender- It is sad we build that kind of chimney, but at least it looks like these three are out of action now...
I've linked up to your fun picture site too!
beautiful picture.
funny, isn't it, that something that is the cause of pollution can be a source of beauty too? It's like the sunsets... the more smoke or particles in the air, the more gorgeous the sunset. Just doesn't make sense...!
Don't know what these stacks are from...a famous industry? They do contrast and look neat with something natural and beautiful like the sky here.
Hi Annelisa, lived in Dover for some years and in Folkestone for some more ...
Used to go down the coast road to Dymchurch and as far as Hastings on weekend drives, or sometimes I'd go to Ramsgate or Nero's in Margate... but that was some time ago. More oft we'd go inland to Ashford or Canterbury for a pint or two or maybe a to see gig too
Lazy summer days andwild summer nights in the garden of England were had, many swims in the English Riviera, and much fish was had too, as long as it didn't glow in the dark, as Dungeness sat there and into the sea sank...
Mother of Invention - No, I don't know what industry these chimneys were from either.
What struck me was the way the chimneys were like growths from the surrounding flat lands, seemingly spewing smoke out as in bygone years...
The contrast between the man-made and the natural has often struck me - It's like, no matter what structures we erect on the landscape, nature will almost nonchalantly grow around and over it or through it, almost erasing us as insignificant...
Quasar9 - So, a local(ish) boy, huh? I come from the other direction. Hastings is the closest to me. I'll have to try Nero's next time I'm in Margate(if it still exists). Sounds like you enjoyed your time whilst you were there! Hmmm and what's this about 'wild' summer nights? :-) Is Dungeness still going? I suppose it must be, as I haven't heard anything to the contrary. I remember visiting it as a child, and the whole time wondering whether there was a leak, and how we would know... Even though we were invited as a kind of PR exercise, I didn't like it at all!
These look like the distinctive parabolic cross section of nuclear plant cooling towers. Its one of the truly beautiful functional structures and only about 2 meters thick at the thickest. Not smoke, but steam, emits.
Keep looking up
Peace
Nature almost erasing us is a good thing I think! Especially where smoke stacks are concerned!
Hello Goatman - long time no see! How are your animals?
I didn't know these were nuclear cooling towers - I guess that would figure, as they're in the middle of nowhere. They are very visually aesthetic, aren't they? :-)
To be honest, now I've looked up, I don't think I could stop! :-)
Peace to you too!
MOI - Have you ever seen that film 'Logan's Run'? I saw it when I was a teenager, and it affected me a lot (along with 'Capricorn One' and 'Star Wars' :-) ) Different ideas of the future... but one thing in particular, apart from dealing with the 'what will we do about the increasing population?' question, was the way that all civilised structures were covered in massive amounts of undergrowth. When I go out walking, I often spend time imagining what a building, or path, would look like if it wasn't kept clean of the tree seedlings, the ivy and brambles... and also what it must've been like before permanent roads were built... A double edged sword, methinks.
Personally, if we have to have them, I'd rather see them covered with ivy or greenery of some sort and hidden amongst trees!
Yeah, it's nice to seem them blended in.
