The sun sets over the hills of Bantay and Pagudpud, rural towns on the northern most part of Luzon Island, Ilocos Norte, Philippines. The country invested a lot of money to harness the wind and sunshine that is ubiquitos in this part of the Philippines. This is the last in a series of shots taken at this location.

By making alterative energy sources affordable and profitable, everyone will win. It is worth the effort and a global agreement to save the only planet in the galaxy known to support human life. The Sun and Wind Turbines. Solar and Wind powers are captured along the coast of Bantay and Pagudpud, Philippines in Ilocos Norte province where sunshine and ocean winds are plentiful all year round.

Solar Impulse, the solar aircraft built in Switzerland to fly around the world on solar fuel only, took off on May 2nd early morning at Moffett Federal Airfield at NASA Ames in Mountain View, California. I got an invite to witness this historic journey around the world.
I took this shot when approaching the white inflatable hangar seen on the right. The hangar is double-walled, and is held up by air pressure inside the walls. The fabric is 97% transparent so that the solar cells on the aircraft can operate and charge the batteries while the aircraft is parked. More info on this historic flight at www.solarimpulse.com
I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from a RAW exposure, and merged them selectively.

I'm sorry for the bad pun, but I can't stop wondering why we call a flock of crows a murder of crows. Is it the sound that more than two crows make when they gather. Does it sound like a murder?

Solar Impulse, the solar aircraft built in Switzerland to circle the globe, took off on last Monday early morning at Moffett Federal Airfield at NASA Ames in Mountain View, California. I got an invite to witness this historic journey around the world.
Founders and pilots Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg first addressed the press. André climbed into the cockpit for this leg to Phoenix, Arizona. The flight took 16 hours. I had a big tripod with me and could blend in with the press to get a prime spot for takeoff. Preparations were long, but the actual takeoff happened very quiet and sudden. I took this shot at the time of take-off at 5am in the morning.
Bertrand and André want us to use more clean energies. In their word, they want to push the transition to renewable energy resources. Very inspiring!
The aircraft has a wingspan bigger than a Boeing 747, but weights just 2 tons instead of 400 tons. To preserve weight and aerodynamics, this aircraft has no landing gears on the side. People hold the aircraft level on long poles until it gains enough speed. More info on this historic flight at www.solarimpulse.com

Wind turbines near the Crowsnest Pass, Southern Alberta, Canada.
Wind turbines work on the same principle that allows airplanes to fly. The wind doesn’t push the blades, but passes over them. The resulting pressure difference between the upper and lower surfaces creates lift, which causes the rotor to turn.
Alberta currently ranks third in Canada with an installed wind energy capacity of 1,483 MW. The electricity production is equivalent to the amount needed to power approximately 380,000 average-sized homes. Since 2009, the cost of wind energy has fallen 69 per cent, making it one of the lowest-cost generating technologies available today. [Canadian Wind Energy Association]
This was taken on the border between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Windmills always fascinate me and make me wonder why we aren't using more clean energy to fuel our never-ending needs. It would make the world a much better place.
Nagoya Port of Japan. I couldnt find the name of the mountain in the background.
I was on a vessel berthed at the Nagoya LNG Port.
Part of the Crescent Ridge Windfarm near Tiskilwa in northcentral Illinois.Windfarms are quite controversial in the midwest,especially in Iowa and Illinois..Farmers and small town dwellers alike complain about declining land values and quality of life.Many farms in areas affected have "blockRICL" signs in their yards as a rallying cry against these windfarms and their rapid growth.
Clean,reusable energy is important,but finding away to do without negatively affecting rural areas is just as necessary.

Windmills harness the steady flow of coastal sea breezes that move to and fro along the shores of the northern Philippines.
The sun partially blocked by a few metal arms of an eletricity transmission tower provided a shot that bodes well with a solar power theme.
CopenHill - Amager Bakke - at night…
“CopenHill, also known as Amager Bakke, is a power plant located on an industrial waterfront that is capable of converting 440,000 tons of waste into clean energy annually. It was designed by BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group) to double as public infrastructure, and is complete with tree-lined hiking trails and ski slopes on its roof along with the "tallest artificial climbing wall in the world" on its facade.” (1).
“Nearly a decade in the making, the landmark CopenHill waste-to-energy plant has finally opened in Copenhagen. CopenHill is the result of nearly ten years of thought, time and design. To complete the project, BIG worked with SLA, AKT, Lüchinger+Meyer, MOE and Rambøll. The plant aspires to embody the notion of Hedonistic Sustainability while aligning with Copenhagen’s goal of becoming the world’s first carbon-neutral city by 2025. The 41,000m2 project includes an urban recreation center and environmental education hub, turning social infrastructure into an architectural landmark. Beneath the slopes, furnaces, steam, and turbines convert 440,000 tons of waste annually into enough clean energy to deliver electricity and district heating for 150,000 homes. CopenHill features a continuous façade comprised of 1.2m tall and 3.3m wide aluminum bricks stacked like gigantic bricks overlapping each other.
CopenHill is a blatant architectural expression of something that would otherwise have remained invisible: that it is the cleanest waste-to-energy power plant in the world. As a power plant, CopenHill is so clean that we have been able to turn its building mass into the bedrock of the social life of the city – its façade is climbable, its roof is hikeable and its slopes are skiable. A crystal clear example of Hedonistic Sustainability – that a sustainable city is not only better for the environment – it is also more enjoyable for the lives of its citizens.” Bjarke Ingels, Founder & Creative Director, BIG.” (2).

I liked this image for today. There is a lot going on from the hair of a cow scratching on the fence to the car on the road and the windmills in the distance. The light is ever changing. Maybe it also reflects the current frame of mind. A little muddled and exhausted from a long week. Being sick doesn't help. Here's to the light. Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
Our son gave us a tour of the Mechanical Engineering School at the Stanford University in California. He explains the shock tube, which is an impulse reactor that generates shock waves to near-instantaneously heat a test gas. Shock tube experiments drive new discoveries in chemical kinetics, fuel design, clean energy, hypersonics, and spectroscopy. They operate across a wide range of temperature (500–10,000+ K) and pressure (0.01–1000+ atm) conditions.
I processed a photographic, a balanced and a paintery HDR photos from a RAW exposure, blended them, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
