In North Tempe, Arizona lives a giant structure with lots of tubes and lights and power lines. I saw it as soon as I exited the freeway into Tempe and I knew, as did everyone else on the trip, that it needed to have a night photo taken. Last night I finally ventured over there (after a failed trip to Camelback mountain), and took this photograph.

From their website (http://www.aps.com/general_info/AboutAPS_18.html): Operated and owned by APS, the natural gas-fueled Ocotillo Power Plant, in Tempe, Arizona, has two steam and two combustion turbine units that are capable of generating about 340 megawatts. The APS Solar Technology and Research (STAR) Center also is located on the grounds of the Ocotillo Plant and performs state-of-the-art research and development on solar and other renewable generation. Ocotillo also is the location for the Tempe/APS Joint Fire Training Center.
