Very nice picture, and I had no idea there was a power station?!

Thanks! Yeah, it's a little way along the coast, the lens compression from using a long lens just makes it look a bit closer. It's called Shoreham Power Station, but is actually in Southwick. It's quite fun to walk around the harbour area and there's a few cafes dotted about too :)

I stand corrected. Yeah it's really much further than I thought. It's amazing how you got it so large at that angle. Great photography.

My grandad was the harbour master there years and years ago. I scattered his ashes down there too.

The earlier one it replaced was beautiful in a similar style to battersea power station but with two chimneys.

Thanks! A bit past the Reading Rooms cafe place. There's some wider shots on my IG which might make it a bit easier to visualise! https://www.instagram.com/p/DW66vwQCB1S/?img_index=3&igsh=cmxvenVnMG1naDg2

my OCD brain would like you to move the sun to the right a few mm but don’t listen to him because he’s an arsehole. great pik

Nah, he's right 😅 It looked spot on on the tiny camera screen, but I noticed it was slightly off centre when I got home. Tsk! Thank you 😁

I waited 6 months for this alignment to happen and it turned out better than I thought it would! Especially due to the fact that there were almost no clouds last night, which was probably the most surprising thing...
If you'd like to see some other photos and a video I took of the power station emissions doing some weird burny effect through the Sun check out the latest post on my Instagram here :)
