Show us a photo of natural resources, was Jake Sprinter’s challenge this week. And I am happy he chose this subject. For what is more important than finding and managing natural resources such as land, water, wind, soil, plants and animals in a way that will not affect the quality of life for both present and future generations in a negative way.
Wind is such a natural resource and can be used to generate wind power with these wind turbines.

You chose the same topic as I did, same turbines, MUCH different location. Yours is amidst green, and mine are right on the freeway. So similar, so different! http://wp.me/p2jC53-TO 🙂

These are huge, but I am glad to see taller trees around them 😉

Ah no, I’m sorry: the trees are all much smaller. The photo I took is from ground perspective.

Nice composition, Marion. We have a couple on a hilltop just up the road, and quite a large wind farm is currently under construction off our coast. It should make for some good photos. (as well as being useful, of course)

We stay in the little village of Cidade once a year, Jo. And when we look north, we see a row of turbines on a ridge. Might those be the same? 🙂

Nice picture but I don’t believe our kids will like the big fans in future.
Turbines are terrible ugly things at the horizon. Why not put them out at sea?

My uncle Albert said an interesting thing, Marcel. The old mines in the south of Limburg were a scenery disaster when they were built. Huge, ugly factories. And now they have turned into museums… I guess it all depends on the time you live in.
But I agree with you, these white turbines are very overpowering and dominate the horizon.

I wish I could see these in real life .. but your wonderful photo using the tree gives me a good idea on just how big and tall they are…

They are indeed huge, Bulldogsturf, and imprint an overpowering impression on the landscape.

It was one of those moments when you walk by, look, and take a few steps back to capture the right scene.

A small country with big windmills, right, Marian? 😉
