The Washington Public Power Supply System was formed to build five nuclear power generating stations. One of the sites was in Satsop Washington. It was to have two reactors with separate containments and cooling towers. The construction was never finished, but the cooling towers and partial containment buildings remain. Tours can be arranged of the facility and the Seattle Photo Club went for a visit. The cooling towers, seen from the inside in this shot, are enormous structures some 500+ feet tall, now serving only as landmarks. To capture this view in one shot would have required a very wide lens, which I did not have. This is a vertical panorama stitched together from six shots. Shot with the Nikon D750 and Nikkor 24-120mm f/4 lens. ISO 1250 f/11 1/125 sec exposure
