Landscape change

As a passenger in our car I have the opportunity to look around and I suddenly noticed all the ironworks around this road. Traffic lights, lamppoles, trafic signs, an electricity pylon and all the windturbines. People are complaining about the wind turbines spoiling the landscapes but our government must comply with an international agreement for more wind energy on land and sea, so it is needed to save the climate change. I must admit it changes the landscape but in the past we already had windmills all over our country and we still have.

  2. This is an interesting observation Marianne. I guess soon enough they will just become part of the landscape as the pylons did. Funny to see all the details in this shot, as well as all you mentioned there are all the directional road markings.. however did we know where we were going in days gone by :)

  3. That's a very practical take on windmills, and I completely agree with you on this. We must do all we can to save the environment...

  4. We have a few places in California where there are hundreds if not thousands of wind turbines covering the hillsides. It is a sight to see. I once followed a convoy in Kansas transporting just a single blade of a soon to be erected wind turbine. You don't realize how huge these things are until you are right next to them at ground level.

  5. I think it is a small price to pay for clean energy and a healthier planet. The turbines are graceful, quiet, and beautiful in their own way.

  6. I still can't get used to seeing them though ...

    All the best Jan

  7. Dearest Marianne,
    Like we observed in Ontario, Canada where the government invested heavily in them. Even though, they only do generate a few percent of energy... it is a nice theory!
    Photo taken just at the right moment for having it all 'in'.
    Hugs,

  8. Don't believe I've every seen a windmill in my state of Idaho. But in middle of Washington in wheat fields I've seen a few windmill.
    I get quite a bit of wind and if I was restarting form ground up. I would consider putting in a windmill.

  9. Where I live, I do not see the windmills, but we also have them. But maybe not so much (yet). It fascinates me to see the windmills in a large area full of (I have seen in Germany).

  10. Landscapes are never improved with more wires, poles and wind turbine, regardless of how utililitarine they may be.
