Standing near one of this gigantic wind turbines we can feel his power.
The constant noise made by the turbine blades is just creepy and if got the feeling that at any given moment it is going to cut me in several pieces.
For the first time I felt really small...
'the winds of change are always blowing
and every time i try to stay
the winds of change continue blowing
and they just carry me away.'

"The Wind Blows." by Katherine Mansfield (1915)
Their heads bent, their legs just touching,
they stride like one eager person through the town,
down the asphalt zigzag where the fennel grows wild...
The wind is so strong that they have to fight their way through it,
rocking like two old drunkards.
This poetry is featured in the "Wellington Writers Walk" - A series of large, concrete, typographic ‘text sculptures’ designed by award-winning Wellington typographer and graphic designer Catherine Griffiths. Located at random points along the waterfront, each sculpture contains a quote by a well-known New Zealand writer with strong Wellington connections. The walk makes literature more visible and encourages residents and visitors to be more aware of Wellington's literary heritage.
This is part of my set called "Coolest little capital" which is a stream of photos about the people, places and events in Wellington. I invite you to follow and enjoy the set as it grows and hope that the photos would provide you an idea of what Wellington is like. I will be posting 3 photos at a time. Your comments are most welcomed and appreciated. Hope you like it. Thank you.
Lately, I found myself drawn to old mechanical wind-up alarm clocks. I love the crisp ring they make. Surely wakes up a sleepy head!

Completely quiet and generating 21,000 kw of power a year. The Wind Spire.
One of the Wind Turbines just off the North Kent Coast at Herne Bay. Spent a windy afternoon with Bayblast boats visiting the wind farm and the old Maunsell forts, great fun and highly recommended, although you're likely, along with your camera, to get wet!
La energÃa eólica es la que se obtiene por medio del viento, es decir mediante la utilización de la energÃa cinética generada por efecto de las corrientes de aire.
El término eólico viene del latÃn Aeolicus, perteneciente o relativo a Éolo o Eolo, dios de los vientos en la mitologÃa griega y, por tanto, perteneciente o relativo al viento. La energÃa eólica ha sido aprovechada desde la antigüedad para mover los barcos impulsados por velas o hacer funcionar la maquinaria de molinos al mover sus aspas. Es un tipo de energÃa verde.
Parque eólico, en la actualidad se utiliza, sobre todo, para mover aerogeneradores. En estos la energÃa eólica mueve una hélice y mediante un sistema mecánico se hace girar el rotor de un generador, normalmente un alternador, que produce energÃa eléctrica. Para que su instalación resulte rentable, suelen agruparse en concentraciones denominadas parques eólicos.
Si bien los parques eólicos son relativamente recientes, iniciando a popularizarse en las décadas de los 80 - 90, desde hace mucho tiempo la energÃa eólica se ha utilizado en otras aplicaciones, como: moler granos o bombear agua, basta recordar los ya famosos molinos de viento en las andanzas de Don Quijote.

Wind mills have worked for man for centuries. They identify rural America for most people. They will be a part of future energy solutions, not the answer. These are part of a companys inventory of products they produce.
My winder struck again before I realized it's lack of cooperation wth longer exposures. This was at 1/15 handheld.
My good friend Bryan is pictured in the shot. It was a good time out taking photos.
You can check out his photostream below, it's great stuff.
