A power plant with steam from the cooling processes blowing up and around it..taken at dusk just a few minutes after the lights came on..I thought it was a cool picture with all the steam around; there was a misty feeling; also, the darkness does require light in many instances: so here is a power plant producing light; it is beautiful with its own lights in the darkness. The image was cropped at top and bottom; unsharp mask was used. I used curves for a deeper color and darkness adjustment; a little use of increased brightness and contrast, too.

Thanks for all the comments. I know a lot of people didn't like the steam, but I felt it gave it some mood and strengthened the photo..thanks for all the positive votes; I tried hard on this pic.
Great photo. The fog/clouds covering part of the image really does a lot to create the feeling of darkness/mystery. I don't know what this structure is, but it was a perfect choice for this. 9.
This brought to mind Blake's poem that speaks of dark Satanic mills. I like the shroud of haze around the lights and obscuring the the top of the chimneys. The image is effective and fits the challenge well.
