A Bit Unnerving
















This is the standard version of the colorized photo I've included in the right-hand column of this blog. It's a rather unnerving sight when you're taking a nice, relaxing, scenic drive to Plum Island, MA. The sign refers to the Seabrook (New Hampshire) Nuclear Power Plant and the fact that it would be impossible to run if there was actually an accident at that facility.

I took this photo on a cloudy day in the middle of the week during the month of June. I woke up a couple of days later only to find an article on-line and in the local paper talking about the fact that the Seabrook warning alarm had gone off in the middle of the night and frightened the residents of Amesbury. We didn't even hear it. Our windows were closed and our air conditioning was on. As it turns out, it was an alarm malfunction...or so they say. Who really knows?
