Kentish Flats Offshore Wind Farm (sunrise or sunset?)

The Kentish Flats Offshore Wind Farm is a Wind Farm located off the coast of Kent, England on a large, flat and shallow plateau just outside the main Thames shipping lanes. The wind farm is operated by Vattenfall.
The distance from the nearest wind turbine to Whitstable is 6.2 miles (10.0 km).
Construction was completed in August 2005, with commissioning and testing of all turbines completed by September 2005. The wind farm consists of 30 Vestas V90 3MW wind turbines with a total nameplate capacity of 90 MW Turbines were installed by the Danish offshore wind farms services provider A2Sea, this picture was taken by my son when he worked there as a service engineer taken from halfway up a turbine. The turbines are turned off during servicing.

He has since been reported missing in Japan

UPDATE He has been found fit and well in Tokyo and will be returning to work in Japan soon.

Wunderschön, John! – „sunrise or sunset?" Ohne Position kann man das nicht herausfinden. Ich tippe mal auf „Abend“ und auf ein Zeichen für schönes Wetter am nächsten Tag.

Where I live, an offshore wind farm is to be installed, but many people do not agree. Especially the fishermen

Aufnahmedatum = 17:02, also Sonnenuntergang. ☺
Aber auch sonst hätte ich sunset gesagt. Bei sunrise ist meist etwas Nebel zu sehen.
