Driving over the viaduct this morning was a uniquely surreal experience.
The air was still, and the mist was rising as I headed south on the motorway. As I approached the start of the viaduct along a sweeping curve I experienced a moment of utter dislocation. I took a second glance before realising that the iconic cooling towers that dominate the skyline were missing.
The carriageway itself was reasonably clear, but the banks of fog on either side had formed a pearlescent curtain that completely obscured the usual view. It was only as I passed by the side of the towers that I caught a brief glimpse of them through the swirling clouds.
