North European gas pipeline construction
North European gas pipeline construction. Also known as Nord Stream, this is a natural gas pipeline being built from Russia to Germany, passing under the Baltic Sea. Natural gas is a fossil fuel obtained from underground oil and gas deposits. This section of the pipeline is the overland section in Russia. This section runs from near Vologda (several hundred kilometres north of Moscow) to the coast at Vyborg. This section will be 917 kilometres long. Construction began on 9 December 2005 and is scheduled for completion in 2010. Photographed in Russias Vologda region in April 2006

EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the impressive construction of the North European gas pipeline, also known as Nord Stream. Stretching from Russia to Germany, this ambitious project aims to transport natural gas extracted from underground oil and gas deposits. The image showcases the overland section of the pipeline in Russia's Vologda region, a verdant landscape dominated by dense forests. The technological prowess behind this endeavor is evident as workers diligently construct the massive pipeline that will span an astounding 917 kilometers. This monumental undertaking began on December 9th, 2005 and is projected to be completed by 2010. Intriguingly, this snapshot offers a glimpse into both industrial progress and environmental harmony. Amidst the lush greenery of the Russian forest, modern machinery stands tall against nature's backdrop—a testament to mankind's ability to harness technology for energy needs while respecting our surroundings. As we step further into the 21st century, projects like these highlight our reliance on fossil fuels such as natural gas. They remind us of our ongoing quest for sustainable energy sources and prompt contemplation about striking a balance between industry and ecological preservation. This remarkable print serves as a reminder of human ingenuity in constructing vital infrastructure that connects nations while simultaneously urging us towards more environmentally conscious solutions for future generations.
