Dominated by a Monster: can you see it?

This lovely view lies under a cloud of pollution that spreads right across the image just above the horizon.
Look carefully, on the horizon just to the right of the tree is the unmistakeable outline of the cooling towers and Chimney of Drax power station, the second largest coal fired one in Europe.
The pollution is so high that it passes overhead and damages the forests in Norway due to acid rain, and locally it gives a higher than average rainfall too.
And yet despite all that I love this view from the high Wold near Uncleby, East Yorkshire,  from the old Roman road,  looking  out over the plain.
