Offshore substations are the electrical backbone of a wind farm, collecting power from the turbines and stepping it up for transmission back to shore via export cable.
They sit at the centre of the array, built to withstand the North Sea environment around the clock.
These two images were shot from the vessel deck on approach, iPhone in hand. The first captures the platform in context with the wider turbine array fading into the horizon, the scale of the installation only apparent when you see it from sea level.
The second focuses on the substation structure itself: the yellow steelwork, the equipment decks, and the sea state around the boat landing. There is no filter or processing here. The evening light and calm conditions did the work.
