I was surprised how many of my photos would fit the 'Power' theme although that was not the reason for taking them.
The latest that have come to my attention stand at least four miles away with the North Yorks Moors behind them.

The eagle-eyed among you may just make out the line of pylons part of the electricity power grid. Just to make it easier for you here is a shot of the moors to the right of the turbine photo.

As an example of power in use I just have to include a shot from our lounge.

Of course there are different forms of power; one of the earliest can be seen here.

| Horsepower on Saltburn Beach |
It's also possible to generate power using the waves, but beware that sometimes water takes control.
 |
| Waves from the Fowey Estuary in Cornwall very much in charge |
River barrages, like the ones on the River Tees enable control to be regain of tidal waters as you can see here when the river is in flood and the flow to the sea is controlled.

No power shoot would be complete without a reference to the motor car. Of course the petrol companies try to get in on the act in their advertising campaigns,

| V-Power Performance Fuels |
For which they charge extra of course.
Missing from this power collection is nuclear power so there is a note to myself to go out a take a shot of our local nuclear power station at nearby Hartlepool.
When all else fails there are times when

Not forgetting the woman behind the camera and behind the wheel.

That's a nice range (!!) of shots, Bob!
;-)
And you reminded me: There's a nice big stone fireplace in the basement that I've been making a fire in every day for a few weeks now that I can shoot for my next post.

Nice pictures
You should see the wind farms all across southern Texas. They're amazing
Awesome power post! Of course horsepower and Bob Power rules in my eyes! Now this was an exceptionally pretty display of power.
An amazing mix interpreting this theme, Bob. Trouble with power is one tends to cancel out another. Recent powerful storms have cut our electricity power twice and we live in a fairly quiet area for weather. Have you suffered yet this year at all?

Ann - Lots of rain and a few strong winds that's all. No power loss.
I love the wind turbines although lots of people claim they affect their health. Great pictures as usual. Particularly like the horsepower.
Bob - piggybacked on your wind turbine idea. Like your take on manpower. Thanks for sharing.
That's a fantastic set of powerful shots! I love the way your mind has worked, and your photographic ability has made them great!
