.... and has been for a while. It is on the listed buildings 'at risk' register as well. Battersea Power Station has not produced electricity since 1983 and it still awaits re-development. The cost of having to build an extension to the Northern Line (London Underground) is a bit of a deterrent to would be developers. Chelsea FC have had their bid turned down recently in favour of a company which has complied with the previous planning conditions.
No fill-in flash, the foreground lighting is street lighting. 15secs, f5.6, Iso200, 21mm, tripod and remote release.
A big big thanks for the UAs on Rio de Oro, and to all who looked, voted or commented. I was surprised it did that well.
More wet stuff again today... anyone got plans for an Ark!

Another fantastic night shot.
Chriscand I disagree on the grid.. It is me who doesn't like it that much on the pink flood view which I haver seen as beautiful as this 
A matter of taste and yes it's a cracker
Dave, its a superb night time image captured with beautiful details and nice colors. Well planned and nice composition. Deep
I think you've found a highly original viewpoint of Battersea, it's certainly not one I've seen before. The neon lighting up of the FG railings ties in with the clouds while the railings echo the towers of Battersea creating quite a harmonious composition. The radial spikes, along with the bridge and the lights reflected on the water all lead the eye into the focal point of the station. I also like that the neon lighting, chipped paint, graffiti and stained bridge foot give a grubby urban feel while the powerstation sits floating above it, in paler lighting, making it beautiful by comparison. It's all well framed by the crane, the railings and the bridge.
I can't think of any constructive criticisms. It's an excellent urban study and one that would be very appealing as a print on your wall.
Al
this one is on the money Dave excellent composition and pov the light is superb and love that flattish cloud great urban capture with real atmosphere fine work ...plans wor the ark were smudged out by rain back to drawing board!
Happy new week
Graham
Well spotted composition here Dave - well taken and presented and a worthy upload for a GEA. Hope we get to see the different stages of building your ark - shame it wasn't completed in time for the River Pageant on the Thames 
Helen
Spectacular! I've never seen it looking so beautiful.
Moira

Hugh

A true winner.
And a big congrats on all those awards.
WOW Dave!! One of your best, that's for sure! That pov and composition are amazing and the light just perfect!! Congrats on all the awards - especially the GEA (bet you're glad you waited until today - I am pleased for you as it's very much deserved!! ). Gets my humble award too! Let's hope the Editor thinks the same....
Ann
Wow Dave this is fantastic. Excellent light and colour
All thats missing is an inflatable pig. If Pink Floyd ever redid the Album Animals then this would make a cracking upto date image for their cover
Mark
Dave all been said mate just please accept my humble UA, I worked there from 1966 to 1971 unloading the coal ships, very happy times spent there.

Trev.

Wow, others obviously like it as much as I do, so good to see so many awards on this.
Came a bit late to this one, but it has the WOW factor... Totally brilliant in all aspects.. Love it!!I can only echo all the above
Wow! what an amazing capture of this beautiful building.
I used to play on the rail tracks where they used to deliver the coal when i was a kid!
This holds some great childhood memories for me
Top work.
Ricky.
Coming to this late and not surprised to see just how many clicks and awards this image has collected Dave. It has class written all over it. The composition is creative and very effective. I really cannot find fault.
Derek
A cracker !
David
Congratulations on all the well deserved awards.
More medals than Kenny Everet
A well exposed , sharp image. All thats missing is the flying pig!
I was about to give this an award but it won;t let me for some reason ???
Absolutely stunning htough.............. breathtakingly so.
Gareth
Super shot, I'm old enough to remember the fair that used to be behind the power station. Lovely colours and I really like the forground "spikes".
A fantastic night shot congratulations on all the accolades this one has received
Wow! Excellent shot.
Sorry to digress, but where’s the Pink Floyd Pig from the 'Animals' album?
A sensational capture, I have never seen it look that good, but like a magician you have pulled it out of the bag ... you deserved every award and I am sorry I cannot leave one now as I have used my one for the week.
So you have the nails, I have some wood, who has the time? Sorry Leon stole your line ...
I remember that as a snotty nosed kid lol. always had a cold! Mum said it was a power station! not that I believed her no trains! and that was seventy odd years ago never looked that good to me either, what a cracking job you did on it hope you get paid well!, regards Leon.
