Since about 1987, I've called this area the "Land of Oz" because it looks like the Emerald City. You can't see the green as much in this image, but the green is there in person.
Sometimes people get so caught up in the literalness of objects that they can't see them any other way. I think this place is beautiful with it's glittering lights, never-mind what it really is. Just don't stand downwind on a bad day.

I've tried to get shots of this several times over the years. It's no easy task, let me tell you! I think the best shot would be aerial, but with security these days, I don't see that happening. I tried a different vantage point this time, and it worked pretty well. I was standing right by the highway though, so that was a little nerve-wracking with cars speeding by at 70mph. It did make for some interesting red and white lights in the foreground.
When I took my first shot, I was just trying to get a decent image of the lighted towers. However, with a 30 second exposure, the tiny wisps of steam in the background became beautiful sprays.
I had to edit out some power lines in Photoshop. Power lines are the bane of my existence!
