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)

Looking straight into the sun across choppy waters, the Brighton Baths and the marina. Been a bit of a crazy day in Melbourne with wind, rain and (very occasional) sun competing with each other. Mostly, the rain won.

Wikipedia reports: Antelope Canyon is a slot canyon in the American Southwest. It is on Navajo land east of Page, Arizona. Antelope Canyon includes two separate, scenic slot canyon sections, referred to individually as "Upper Antelope Canyon" or "The Crack"; and "Lower Antelope Canyon" or "The Corkscrew." The Navajo name for Upper Antelope Canyon is Tsé bighánÃlÃnÃ, which means 'the place where water runs through rocks'. Lower Antelope Canyon is Hazdistazà (called "Hasdestwazi" by the Navajo Parks and Recreation Department), or 'spiral rock arches'. Both are in the LeChee Chapter of the Navajo Nation. The canyons are accessible by guided tour only."

Ralph Waldo Emerson. The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca: On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!
John Muir: All the wild world is beautiful, and it matters but little where we go, to highlands or lowlands, woods or plains, on the sea or land or down among the crystals of waves or high in a balloon in the sky; through all the climates, hot or cold, storms and calms, everywhere and always we are in God's eternal beauty and love.
Of course, these grasses are always moving with the breeze, but that is part of the adventure of photographing them.

Yesterday evening there was a very stormy wind and try to capture this.

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/

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!!

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Catching the moment a wind whips up along the street she is crossing and I loved the movement of her hair. Enjoy!
Had some big southwest winds yesterday. The waves were breaking over the steel breakwaters a few miles from our place.
We were fine as we were on the leeward side.
