Game: Name that road!

[Sea of vapours]

It may be a view of the Drax power station chimney, near Selby, though I can't find a view which obscures the cooling towers quite so effectively.

Lincolnshire. Trying to work out if the ridge in the distance is a ditch or a railway, but my guess is ditch.

wrong, wrong and wrong

There's an electricity pylon disappearing into the view over on the left of the pic.

I can't see it. I looked at 5x magnification and there are so many compression artefacts that it is possibly/probably just one of them?

 

[MontyVeda]

I've been looking for the pylon too... since such things tend to make naming that road rather easy, I try to avoid them these days.

There is no pylon in the shot

I think it's too stocky for that. I just went and had a look and the chimney at Drax is quite skinny.

It has a strange bulge on the top.

I wondered if it was the synchotron at Daresbury, but I don't think so.

...

You mean this?

I think it's just an artefact from the SV camera.

 

[GuyBoden]

Looks very flat, so it could be near the coast.

Fair enough. Looks like a bulge to me!

It looks more like an older style brick tower, not a more modern power station to me. It not actually that tall either as it appears to be pretty close to those trees.

Maybe an old brickworks?

going off at a tangent, how did they build the first brickworks chimney before there we any bricks? chickens and eggs

 

[MontyVeda]

it is a redbrick chimney but not a brickworks chimney

 

[antnee]

Can't think of any Brickworks chimneys. offhand. I still think its east side of our island.

 

[MontyVeda]

considering bricks need firing and fires need chimneys, i reckon most brickworks would have had a chimney... but that's by the by.

This is not a brickworks and it's nowhere near the east coast

 

[T4tomo]

maybe some relic from Lancashire's satanic mills

Ooops - I looked again and it is not there. Lordy only knows why I thought there was one. How bizarre
