Okay seriously, what's up with Altamont Pass? Why are none of the windmills in operation? This place always seems to be crazy windy, yet I haven't seen them move in years. They were always running when I was a kid!

These contraptions (17 of them) provide enough power for 30,000 homes and 5% power for the whole of Canakkale.

Check out my blog for details behind some of the pictures:

They are HUGE. Passed these on the way to Vegas. WAY longer than a normal 18 wheeler. Beautiful too.

A windmill near Umea, (Holmsund perhaps), Sweden. The whole place had an errie feel to it, enhanced further by the approaching rainclouds. My thanks to the Jager family for taking me out inspite of the bad weather. Taken with Sony DSC P93, handheld

At the bottom of the picture you can see the blade that will be placed soon.

Zotos put up some wind power generators. They're still not operating, but they LOOM.

Slightly crazy HDR version, and edited for color saturation. Looks to me like a mid-1950s picture postcard.
