Willington Power Station, Derby March 2011

[Dystopia]

Visited with Evil Noodle, Ceejam and a lovable staffy dog. :) These cooling towers were amazing and were set in some lovely wasteland that contained not only pretty rusty things but also lots of bunnies that I startled a few times! :D

Willington Power Station is great to look at but the biggest fun is experimenting with the wonderful acoustics in the towers. If this place was on my door step I'd probably spend unhealthy amounts of time lying under them and clicking at the hole above...to the disappointment of my parents who hate both my habit of roaming wastelands and investigating my environment with sound. For those of you unable to produce loud tongue clicks, any other forms of bangs or clicks will also provide you with hours of amusement.

Sweet doggy. <3

I love random ponds..don't you? There were water boatmen living in here and probably all other manner of fascinating insects.
