I loved Steve's mono version of this but this is also really awesome. P)

Thanks Rebecca. I couldn't resist the colour in this one.
I'm looking forward to great images from Steve now that he's in Scotland.

You're welcome Tony. Yes, I keep forgetting that Steve is in Scotland. I guess his next photos should confirm that.

That does look like some very serious voltage, good shot, Tony.

Indeed, it can be around 200,000 volts. You wouldn't want to get too close to it.

A good day to you Tony! Yes, that station looks like it would be absolutely dangerous. And thank you for replying.
