About this photo
The focus is a scene of two large cooling towers at a nuclear power plant. The towers are emitting steam, with one having more prominent white clouds of steam rising from it. A road runs in front with a chain-link fence, a blue shipping container, and a red and white triangular sign that reads "Cedez le Passage" below it, and a speed limit sign reading "50". The mood/style is industrial and informative. The visually notable elements are the large cooling towers, the steam emission, and the road signs. The on-screen text reads "Cedez le Passage" and "50".
