Collinsville, Oklahoma
VERY breezy the day I took this. We've had rain since, thank God.
This is taken near the highest point around Collinsville. You can't really see much of the town from there, but you can get the feeling that you're out in the country, since there's no buildings around and no power lines.
I happen to like the idea of using natural resources for green purposes. These wind farms have popped up all over West Texas in the last 5-6 years and more keep popping up.

This wind farm is in central Illinois outside of Bloomington. The towers are located in the corn fields and go on to the horizon. In all there are 120 towers in this group. If you have never seen one of these up close...it is pretty incredible.

Wind Cave was regarded as sacred by the American Indian and protected as a national park in 1903. It does create wind as the air inside the cave adjusts to the atmospheric changes outside the cave, thus the name.
Wind turbines spin slowly under a blue sky in the Klondike Wind Farm atop Oregon's Columbia Plateau.
Windflowers, my father told me not to go near them, he feared them always,
Said they carried him away.
Windflowers, I couldn't wait to touch them, to smell them, I held them closely.
Now I cannot break away.
Their sweet bouquet disappears like a vapor in the desert. Take a warning, son.
Windflowers, their beauty captures every young dreamer who lingers near them.
Ancient windflowers, I love you.
alle cinque ci dicono che ci sono dei pass per noi,
per stare nella zona orchestra dei Wind Music Award 09.
Quella coi fotografi, in cui si sta larghi e sotto il palco,
la parte in cui si può tranquillamente dare un cinque al Liga,
perchè li hai lì davanti.
Alle cinque e mezza io e la Uaz abbiamo sgommato.
E siamo uscite da quel popò di spettacolo dell' Arena alle due.
Non so perchè a volte ho queste botte di culo. E poi ero lì,
in quella posizione di contemplazione di tutta l'arena gremita attorno a me.
Emozione unica.
I think the photo doesn't do the justice to this small yet surprisingly windy cave. I love the contrast between the low and high light areas and it is one of the most difficult photographic situations I have faced to date.
A wind generator. A solar generator. Some clouds to symbolize the tumultuousness of our crazy times. The way of the future?
Somewhere in Victoria. Where is it?

If you know me well, you'll know I have a strange obsession with wind turbines, I just really like them!
Photo taken while the wind flower was rotating, but the effect is not that visible.
I will repeat this with tripod and better shutter speed setup.
The largest wind power project in the country, with plans for thousands of acres of towering turbines in the Mojave Desert foothills generating electricity for 600,000 homes in Southern California.

A windmill to produce electricity might become a good option in Iceland. This windmill is located on a farm named Belgsholt in Melasveit, about 15-20 minutes from Akranes.
Windmills should be quite useful in Iceland since we often have plenty of wind :-)

It was very windy in Peachland today so I ventured down to the beach to catch some waves...from the shore of course.
Some of you may remember last Novembers wind storm. I think the waves were bigger this year.

A wind turbine on top of the Packard Place building in Charlotte, NC, with the Duke Energy building in the background. I thought it made for a nice juxtaposition of concepts, a wind mill and a multinational energy conglomerate.
Packard Place was built in 1928 as an uptown showplace for Packard Cars.

Phase I
In the first phase 6 MW, five German-made gearless VENSYS 62 wind turbines each capable of producing 1.2 MW were installed/connected with 11 KV HESCO network and started generation in April 2009.[3]
Phase II
In the second phase, 28 more wind turbines of 1.8 MW capacity each, supplied by Vestas of Denmark were installed to produce a total of 50.4 MW electricity.[3] This increased the capacity of the project to 56.4 MW. The project was completed in March 2013.[1]
In July 2013, Zorlu Enerji announced that its 56.4 MW Jhimpir wind power plant in Pakistan had started to sell power to the Pakistani national power distribution company after having passed all the required tests.[4]
Currently the privately owned Turkish wind farm is selling the produced electricity to Pakistan at a rate of 12.1057 US cents per kilowatt hour of electricity.[3]
Currently, 45 wind power projects of around 3200 MW capacity are under process in Pakistan.[5]
