 Sub Station rears its ugly self just beyond the natural grasses of a local Nature Reserve. I've yet to see any of the animals (plains game) in the field near the station. Necessary evil I know, and the animals feel the same way.
Score? 5.5 if I'm lucky compared with the flood of shiny cityscapes that will no doubt be in this challenge.

There is no Latin word for "abomination" so I made one up.
Increased contrast, saturation, sharpness, cropped, sfw.

HDR works here, contrast is a tad excessive to my eyes, even considered you wished to highlight the entanglement of structures, which you did very well.

Looks like a parallel to a city skyline with the power station, not sure if that's what you were going for or not... definately interesting
