Nuclear Sunsets

Today’s Photos of the Day were shot at Salem Nuclear Plant near Salem, New Jersey and at the Farley Nuclear Plant near Dothan, Alabama.

Most of you know that in my previous life I helped inspect nuclear plants. I always traveled to these plants with my camera. Unfortunately, even though I was in the industry for more than 11 years, I was never able to get shots of the most interesting parts of the plants – the reactor and spent fuel pools – largely because most things brought into the containment building come out as nuclear waste and wind up smashed into yellow and magenta 55 gallon drums.

    I used to work with a woman from Dothan…did you know it’s the condom capital of the world? Well, that’s what she claimed….:-)
