Crosby Sands (Again)

One more photo of Crosby sands, featuring, not the iron men but that sticky-up thing (whatever it is) and the off-shore wind farm.



I love wind farms. I think they're awesomely beautiful. People love old-style wind-mills- and what's the difference- except that modern wind turbines are so much more elegant? I've read that wind farms will never supply all our energy needs- but why not, if we build enough of them?

Thanks.

They're going up on the hills all round here. I'm glad we agree about how beautiful they are. I don't think it's the majority view.

It's most definitely not a majority view and people here complain about them all the time. I think they're a combination of grace and power and rather like the look of the new stylized windmills. The traditional ones have their place in history and I also like seeing the ones Don Quixote supposedly fought as we drive through La Mancha.

"Grace and power" sums it up exactly. I think the wind turbine is a masterpiece of modern design.
