Crystal Globe Award

Oh, it's not an actual prize! It is rather an appropriate name for my photo depicting a fountain shot against the Sun! And, no, I have nothing against the Sun! Au contraire!

Coincidence: this is the post number 100! So this photo is my prize for 100 blog posts!

Power and Earth

Megalomany isn’t the reason the power systems got a continental spread! They have evolved naturally, based on an increasing demand of energy.

Their evolution and expansion were a combination of technical and technological developments on one hand, and the urge to generate more efficient and more economic the electricity demanded by the consumers on the other hand. Thus, the power units became bigger and bigger, and more and more efficient and reliable.

Along with the development of the power systems and the expansion of the power network, also increased the claim of the consumers related to the quality of the energy that they pay, and the power systems were constrained to keep up with this aspect.

This means that generating power using many, only small units with low efficiency, instead of using large and very large power units with high efficiency, will have a negative impact on our energy bills.

Regarding the environment, the power generated from renewable energy resources are welcome, only this power generation should be generated and used in remote areas, and used locally and individually. The power system should not depend on them as reliable resources!

One day we will face the situation in which we are in a forest of wind turbines with no shade of wind! We will walk on fields of photovoltaic panels, and the sun will have no desire to show its bright rays… And this will happen when we will no longer use conventional energy resources! Would this be a happy day on a freezing winter day?

Wind Turbines, Austria

In such a “beautiful” day will we remember the Earth Day, or the Earth Hour?
Earth Day must be every day, and Earth Hour must be each and every hour!

The resources, no matter if conventional or renewable, must be used rationally!

A Grey Day

The other day I was on a short trip by car, along with my daughter, around Malovăţ, near our city.

My daughter.

After some 15 km away from the city, we've spotted a high ground that allowed us to make some nice panoramas.

I must admit that I was completely unprepared. After just a few photos, my batteries must be replaced. All the other three pairs were discharged, so from this moment on I was only a car driver.

Anyway after some 5 km more, another place made us pull over, and this time I was using the camera of my cell phone.

Blue flowers.

Although it was grey, it was also a great day! A great day for taking photos.

Heaven On Earth

This photo was taken on the ring road of Drobeta Turnu Severin, Mehedinti, Romania.

It looks like... Heaven! Don't you think?
