New Solar Plant

This is Ivanpaugh, a new solar plant in southern California about 5 miles from the Nevada border at Stateline.

It is visible from the Interstate and will probably cause some accidents from lookey-loos.
The huge field of mirrors focus the sunlight onto the top of the tower to superheat the water into steam to drive the generators. There is a visible "cloud" around the top of the tower and I am not sure why or what it is. You cannot see it in the picture as it is barely visible with the human eye.

Can't quite make out the cloud, but you sure have a ton of dust on your sensor.

I agree! Talked to the local Samy's Camera and he wanted $175 to clean the sensor!!! I'll study up and clean it myself.
