View from North Shore, Blackpool. 2023-05-06.
An evening view of Walney Wind Farm along the distant horizon to the north west.
This offshore wind farm is about 30Km (18.75 miles) from Blackpool. As each turbine stands 190m (623ft) high, they are tall enough to be seen just above the horizon from that distance. The wind farm covers an area of 145 sq km (55 sq miles).
A lucky capture when some gaps in the clouds appeared after a very rainy day. The turbines are hardly noticeable with the unaided eye unless the weather conditions are favourable. The height of the final image has also been cropped.
Best viewed using the expansion arrows.
Please note all my camera times are set to GMT throughout the year.
