a 366 photo challenge for 2012 - I have joined the friendly crowd at Elements Village on the web and have decided to start at 'A' and follow the 366 themes daily - I like the idea that I will need to take (or make) images that will stretch my skills and imagination - and if I throw in a few extras just for fun - forgive me - OK? Trying to stay focused for a whole year will be a challenge in itself - wish me luck and come and visit anytime...

March 27 - Electricity
Electricity - Las Vegas eats it up and the wind turbines in the Mojave desert help to channel power to this city of lights...
interesting shots for electricity, I pass fields of 'eoliennes' (they are all white here and rather fetching)the wind turbine without ever once thinking to use it for this theme... good comparison..
Both awesome for the theme...really like the first image. Amazing how many there are in such a small space. We have a few of those around here, but not in that kind of quantity!
We have many fields of windmills in our area too. Even though they can be unsightly on a formerly pristine landscape, they do seem to be the lesser of many evils in the world of power production. We have a manufacturing plant for these in my childhood hometown so often encounter the blades traveling to their new homes as we drive on the interstate. They are very interesting to view at night with their many blinking lights.
Very cool photos. So glad I don't live near those wind monsters.

ReplyDeleteThese are actually just a few - there are literally thousands covering some of the hills in the desert.
DeleteThe fields of windmills are popping up all over.

ReplyDeleteIt sounds odd to read of windmill farms but I think this is a cool way to create power.
