Step 1 - Stand in front of the Illinois Bulk Power Operations switching facility with a camera and a long lens.
Step 2 - When sun starts to set, point long lens at switch gear.
Step 3 - Take pictures.
Step 3 - Wait for Police. :whoa:

I shot those from the moving truck. Yeah, it did cross my mind not to be too obvious. Then again, towing the camper I think they'd know where we came from!

Rich, I really like the bottom one.

I am always shooting photos of downtown buildings. Sometimes I am on foot, but more often out the window of my truck. It amazes me that no one has ever asked me what I am doing except for one rent-a-cop at a border crossing in Laredo. He would not let me take a photo of the dome on the customs building. :yell:

Well a lot of times you do "get away" with taking the photos it is just that you are being investigated without your knowledge.

I'll make sure I get a picture of the Black Helicopters when they fly over my house. :coocoo:

Haha. :laugh: Well its not quite like that. Most cases we find are just people like yourself taking random shots of things you think look interesting in which cases a little background check and nothing comes of it, but then there are others that pan out into something.

Great, Lou's gonna take us down with him! :moon:


Pretty cool though - check it out. Always fun camping out at Byron's MX track and hearing the nuke plant humming all night long, and the redish glow of the steam. :ohmy:

Thanks Tony. I have better versions of that pic as the sun was setting and dropping down the horizon.

Okie did a nice job in PS on one of them too. I'll dig through my pics when I get home and see where they are hiding. :whoa:

Looks like work, its what I do for a living! 15 Substations and 1 100 megawatt steam plant all for me. If they knew me they wouldn't let me play with all that stuff. :p
