Location: Klipheuwel near Durbanville.
Description: On Friday afternoon my mate Andre and I decided to visit some of Durbanville’s most photogenic subjects to see if we could find any new and interesting compositions.
Of course we simply had to go and check out the three gigantic wind generators that are parked in a field near the small village of Klipheuwel.
It’s quite an experience standing under one of these monster-fans while the blades are turning...

Ex ALE Unipower tractor ready for a new role in Scottish Wind turbine installation. Getting to places lesser Swedes and Americans can't reach un aided. Cummins powered with Allinson box, looking good for it years and sounding great. With thanks to its new owner and operator.

DESCRIPTION: Along scenic Highway One in Mendocino and Sonoma Counties, one comes across these old redwood fences built by the homesteaders who arrived in California after the Gold Rush. These - now vintage - fences are part of the charm and history of the area.
This is a view of my commute to work...and I am every day grateful for the rugged beauty of the part of California I call home. We can all enjoy this paradise forever if we protect it!! Living in California, being a native Californian, I've seen how in just my lifetime this Golden State has been chewed up by a burgeoning population and continuing irresponsible development. (California's population in 1950 was about 11 million, and it is projected to be 65 million in 2050.)
Here are several websites that offer excellent information about renewable energy sources and greening businesses. It has been imperative for some time now that we move as quickly as possible away from our dependence on fossil fuels, but the political will has been lacking. The good news is that this is changing. We are all in this together, and we can all help create a positive future. Information and education are key.
Windy days are perfect to create power with windmills. In my homeland, located in the north of Bavaria in Germany, there are a lot of windpower plants. I like them as they are good photographic sujets.

In diesem Bild zeigen sich die Grenzen der Supertele-Fotografie (hier 800mm bei KB). Bei knapp 100km Luftlinie zwischen Olympiapark und Zugspitze limitiert das "Hitzeflimmern" und Dreck in der Atmosphäre die Bildqualität. Obwohl es morgens nur knapp über 0 Grad Celsius warm war, "vibrierte" die Luft. Fokuspunkt waren die Windräder. Trotzdem ein Bild, das ich zeigen wollte.
This is where the limits of super telephoto photography become apparent (here 800mm). With a straight line of almost 100km between the Olympic Park and the Zugspitze, the "heat shimmer" and dirt in the atmosphere limit the image quality. Even though it was only just over 0 degrees Celsius in the morning, "vibrated" the air. The focal point were the wind turbines. Still a picture that I wanted to show.

On the outskirts of Snaith, 66786 leads 6D09 Hull Coal Terminal to Ferrybridge Power Station conveying aggregates for the Siniat Drywall factory adjacent to the old power station. Drax power station can be seen on the horizon churning out copious amounts of steam whilst a solitary wind turbine spins gently in the breeze.

Windy Hill Wind Farm is a wind power station near Ravenshoe on the Atherton Tableland, Queensland, Australia. It has 20 wind turbines with a generating capacity of 12 MW of electricity, providing enough power for about 3,500 homes, those in Atherton and Mareeba. The cost of the project was A$20 million. It was the second wind farm to be constructed in Queensland after the 0.45Mw station on Thursday Island.,It was built in 1999 and commissioned in 2000.
It reduces emissions of CO2 by 25000 tonnes per year and an estimated 0.625 million tonnes over its design life of 25 years.
The tubular towers are 44 metres high, the turbines at 46 metres and the blades, pitch perfect are also 46 metres in diameter.
The wind turbines are located on private land which continues to be used as a dairy farm. They can rotate at speeds between 14 rpm to 38 rpm. Power from the turbines is carried by underground cable to the electricity grid.

No pelicans were injured during this shoot, the drone is post capture. Natural sustainable fish were eaten by the pelican for breakfast and the drone used a renewable energy power supply to charge its rechargeable batteries.
May contain traces of nut residue , or is that the photographer?),.

I love wind turbines. I know they can be a contentious subject but apart from their energy creating qualities; they add a certain something to a hilltop.
