    I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud

    Silly title but I know but when the wine takes hold ...

    This is a excellent shot.
    I get a sense of depth from the powerplant stacks as my eyes wander all over the sky.The airplane adds to the depth.The sky colors,cloud textures are fantastic.
    Nice work

    Excellent shot .. I thought I'd seen just about every possible way to photograph the old Battersea Power Station - but this is a new angle to me. Well done indeed.

    Cheers

    I really like this Tom. The plane adds a nice touch.

    Tom, I'm with everyone else on this. Great work.
    The image floats a sort of comparison of man and his industrial machines and nature and her workings. The puffs of clouds look like they could have been puffed out of the stacks. the plane adds another dimension not only to the aesthetics of this photograph but to as how far we have come in our time here. . .we are part of natures vast, complex process.

    starriderrick, Didache; Thanks so much to you both.
    I feel sorry for this old power station. It is now in the hands of two of my fellow countrymen and it worries me greatly as to what they will do to it. Hopefully they will prove me wrong.

    John, Yoyo and Greg. I'm glad you like this shot.

    Gary. I'm also glad you like this one. I'm sorry that I did not see what you saw in the image until you outlined it so well in your critique.

    Mamajan; Many thanks.

    Nice job. The smokestacks remind of ancient columns on first glance. The airplane is the extra touch that makes this one work and gives meaning to that great sky.

    The title works for me with this!!

    Glad you shared.

    I don't have anything to add beyond what's already been said, but I wanted to say that I really like this shot. Very well done.
