Wind Farm



Coming over the mountains and catching a glimpse of these monsters gives one quite a start. They are huge, and as you wind around on the roads, you see them from different angles and simply cannot take your eyes off them - even to look at the little lambkins frolicking in the fields. The day these photos were taken was not very windy, but on a day like today, they would certainly be spinning like crazy giant pinwheels. What a great idea for a country blessed (cursed?) with excessive winds.....an inexhaustible source of power. Some complain that they are a blight on the landscape, but I think that they are extremely graceful and majestic although not quite so beautiful as those nuclear power plants.
