I have met these ethnic Tibetan boy in his native village on 2,380 m altitude in Manaslu area (Nepal). You may not find in the whole world such an independent and self confident children like those in Himalayas who live a simple natural life. While parents are busy working on the farm, these kids learn empirically the world around them. In such a harsh environment for children from the first years had to become self-sufficient.
This pile of fallen branches are evidence of the damage done to trees by the wind storm that passed through our area last night.

Four Winds Prayers by Daniel Arrhakis (2017)
More than ever in the four corners of the world, prayers are needed for so many people who suffer, regardless of believing or not, of religion or practicing faith ... all our thoughts of peace, love, compassion, tolerance and sharing can really change the World and ourselves !
A Wonderful weekend dear friends ! : )

This 134 m so-called Bhutan bridge is located near Leuk, Switzerland and connects the French-speaking part of the Canton of Wallis/Valais with the German-speaking one. Plus the Bhutanese design of the suspension bridge and the decoration with prayer flags symbolize the bond between the mountain countries Switzerland and Bhutan.
I love the concept of the prayer flags... "Traditionally, prayer flags are used to promote peace, compassion, strength, and wisdom. The flags do not carry prayers to gods, which is a common misconception; rather, the Tibetans believe the prayers and mantras will be blown by the wind to spread the good will and compassion into all pervading space. Therefore, prayer flags are thought to bring benefit to all.
By hanging flags in high places the Lung ta (Wind horse) will carry the blessings depicted on the flags to all beings. As wind passes over the surface of the flags, which are sensitive to the slightest movement of the wind, the air is purified and sanctified by the mantras.
The prayers of a flag become a permanent part of the universe as the images fade from exposure to the elements. Just as life moves on and is replaced by new life, Tibetans renew their hopes for the world by continually mounting new flags alongside the old." (Wikipedia)

Have you ever felt that sudden urge in your life to venture off, without any prior planning?
- To hit the road with someone and embark on an adventure.

Before the snow, but still very cold. Made even more cold by the nice, brisk wind that kicked up. You know, the kind of cold that moves right through you and rattles your bones.....Still, I kind of love this weather!!
A cold sunrise with several feet of snow where drifted and a very cold wind chill factor.

Dans mon environnement proche il y a des éoliennes qui doivent être prochainement démontées parce qu'elles sont trop vieilles. A leur place d'autres doivent être fabriquées, transportées et installées. Mais qui se pose la question du bilan carbone vu que les éoliennes déposées sont à terre et non recyclées ?
In my immediate area, there are wind turbines that are due to be dismantled soon because they are too old. In their place, new ones must be manufactured, transported, and installed. But who is considering the carbon footprint, given that the dismantled turbines are on the ground and not recycled?
I just stayed at a campsite near this spot one night, but the Wind Rivers are quite a good-looking range of mountains.... there are seven thirteeners in this view starting with Mt. Sacajawea on the far right, 13,607 feet.
Amtrak's Desert Wind was blowing through Sloan behind F40PH 287 in February of 1989.
Train 35, The Desert Wind was an Amtrak long-distance passenger train that ran from 1979 to 1997.
It operated from Chicago to Los Angeles as a section of the California Zephyr, serving Los Angeles via Salt Lake City; Ogden, Utah; and Las Vegas.
Eines Dichters Traumgerank
Mag sich feiner nicht verzweigen,
Leichter nicht dem Winde neigen,
Edler nicht ins Blaue steigen.
Zärtlich, jung und überschlank
Lässest du die lichten, langen
Zweige mit verhaltnem Bangen
Jedem Hauche regbar hangen.
Also wiegend leis und schwank
Willst du mir mit deinen feinen
Schauern einer zärtlich reinen
Jugendliebe Gleichnis scheinen.

Incoming rain showers propelled by brisk Pacific Trade Winds threaten a soaking on our cliff side trail. The shallow cumulus clouds formed from evaporating ocean water are capped by wind inversion. Despite their short stature, these cumulonimbus can generate intense, localized precipitation.
The Little Red Schoolhouse at the Lost Villages Museum. Gusty winds brought plenty of leaves down this day literally changing the landscape of southern Ontario. A lot more bare trees now.
We pull into the park to watch the wind surfers one day and my husband asks me if I think this looks fun. Absolutely, I say, but I think my body may be too old.
They are sure fun to watch however!
High winds usually mean power outages in Seattle and north. Ours went out at 4 a.m. and finally came on in mid afternoon. Branches are everywhere. #whereistandtoday#ourwisproject

Rain makes my soul happy.
Oh and I've been listening to A Fine Frenzy a lot lately. <3

Shetland has now got a large wind farm, with turbines marching across the hillside. These have only been installed in the last few years. Given how windy the islands are and the UK in general doesn't quite have the rabid anti-windfarm lobby that occurs here I didn't hear much about protesting this. However, I am sure there would be some. Unlike, Iceland where geothermal energy is useful for both heating and electricity generation and is readily available.
This is an AI overview of the Viking Wind Farm "The primary wind turbine farm in the Shetland Islands is the Viking Wind Farm, a 443MW project with 103 turbines, which recently achieved full operational capacity, becoming the UK's most productive wind farm. It harnesses the islands' strong wind resources to generate enough electricity for approximately 500,000 homes and helps support the UK's net-zero targets. Other projects include the Energy Isles Wind Farm, an 18-turbine development on the island of Yell with a capacity of 126MW.
Viking Wind Farm
Capacity: 443 megawatts (MW).
Turbines: 103 turbines.
Output: Can power the equivalent of nearly half a million homes annually.
Significance: Expected to be the UK's most productive onshore wind farm and play a vital role in the country's decarbonization goals.
Status: All turbines were installed by August 2023, and it is now fully operational.
Other Projects
Energy Isles Wind Farm: An 18-turbine development on the island of Yell, with an installed capacity of about 126MW, capable of powering around 157,000 homes.
Shetland's Renewable Energy Future
Onshore and Offshore Potential: Shetland possesses significant wind resources, with plans for further wind farms and the development of tidal and green hydrogen projects, such as the Orion project.
Grid Connection: The construction of the Viking wind farm includes a new undersea cable to export the additional power to the Scottish mainland and beyond, helping to stabilize the grid and connect Shetland to the national grid.
Community Benefits: These projects are designed to retain the benefits of the renewable energy sector within the Shetland community and help reduce reliance on diesel and natural gas. " www.vikingenergy.co.uk/
It was a really windy day and I wanted to catch the the way the trees move, but how do you catch the wind? I reduced my shutter speed right down and so realised after I had caught the wave of the air moving, it looks like a bit of an oil painting but I like it.
Hope you all do too.
Thanks everyone :)
