Carmi's plug struck a chord or two with me.

One for the lights and one for the extractor fan in our shower room.
Meanwhile in our bathroom the bathroom cabinet lit up with this image.

| Reflection of the ceiling lights and the trapdoor to the loft. |
However the photo of the day for me was this cheerful chap.
 |
| Robin on a juniper bush |
It was only as I saved the shot that I realised that I had also caught an electric street light and a blurred solar panel on a roof, just right for this electricity theme.
A number of people in our street have invested in solar panels to generate electricity for themselves - and here's a good example.

Of course these days other generation schemes are available such as these:
 |
| Two of five wind turbines in the locality |
If you study that photo you can see a line of electricity pylons which are much larger when you get up close.
 |
| Pylon and power transmission lines |
Some houses in our village are still hooked up to more primitive power lines.
 |
| Pole and power line connections |
No underground cables for them!
There is a nuclear power station at Hartlepool just a few miles from us but unfortunately I have no shots of that.
To get there by road I can always check road condition by referring to the screen at our local petrol station.

That's a pretty robin, Bob.
I wonder how much electricity they get with that solar cell array, it looks impressive.

Hi Bob - great range of electricity choices ... those tangle of old wires are extraordinary aren't they - to think that was the way it was for so long .. and then the last shot - too much information perhaps ...
Love the robin - he's my favourite too ... cheers Hilary
I liked the robin ;O)
Super collection - the robin is a beauty.
That's a terrific array of electrical shots, Bob! I never thin k solar panels would work very efficiently up in our dour weather!! And I love the robin!
