To The Lighthouse.












AMAZING.
near Sanlucar la Mayor, west of Seville.
'PS10', to the right, is operational.
To the left, not yet online, is 'PS20'.
This day it looked like they were testing the aligmnent
of its array of over 600 reflecting mirrors,
as its cone of light moved about when i was there.
Together they can provide energy for about 18,000 homes.
The first commercial 'power towers' in the world. WOW.
