That last shot is pretty impressive. Is this north of London?

Wow. Very impressive. And very dirty.

What a waste. All that pollution going up into the atmosphere, and we aren't able to harness it at all. Normally, we would get to move several hundred thousand cars around for the same amount of pollution, but this is just being wasted. What a shame.

Picture quoted as being taken from Millennium Dome which is redevelopped Docklands area to east of central London. The tall buildings in the foreground right are in Canary Wharf, with the main Canary Wharf tower blocked out almost by the other buildings - you can just see the pyramid top as a black object behind the others.

Below map shows approximate angle of view looking across north and east of London towards fire located north-west of London

This is a map showing where Hemel is in relation to London.

I live in Hemel, in an area called Gadebridge.

The next link will take you to a map that shows where I am in relation to the oil depot.

Gadebridge can be seen in the centre square on the left hand side of the map &
the Buncefield Oil Depot is, or should I say, was in the centre square on the right hand side....

I don't have a camera, typically, but I did mange to get one picture with my webcam from my living room window.

It isn't that great

, & it certainly doesn't do justice to how near and how dark the smoke stack was,
but I thought I'd show you it anyway
