Wind Farm
A few of the 87 wind tubines of Indiana's Benton County Wind Farm, near Raub, Indiana.
I often take U.S. 41 from Chicago to my ancestral homeland in Kentucky, but car troubles born last summer in California had kept me away since January. I finally returned about three weeks ago in the middle of the night and found a huge array of flashing red lights where empty prairie should have been, a hundred radio tower lights spread our across the darkness south of Kentland where before I'd seen nothing, all flashing in some sort of strange, surreal synchronization.
They weren't radio tower lights, as it turned out. They were 87 windmills installed sometime in the winter or spring. Today, I went back to take pictures.
