A drive north... out of the snow (yeah weird) gave us some beautiful sky views.
a fave song from the 80's... had no idea what it meant then. How we grow up. Still a damn good song.
Taken around the bases of the wind turbines along the Tantanoola Wind Farm Tourist Drive near Millecent.
A wind farm or wind park, also called a wind power station or wind power plant, is a group of wind turbines in the same location used to produce electricity. Wind farms vary in size from a small number of turbines to several hundred wind turbines covering an extensive area. Wind farms can be either onshore or offshore.
Because they require no fuel, wind farms have less impact on the environment than many other forms of power generation. Wind farms have, however, been criticized for their visual impact and impact on the landscape. Typically they need to be spread over more land than other power stations and need to be built in wild and rural areas, which can lead to "industrialization of the countryside", habitat loss, and a drop in tourism. Some critics claim that wind farms have adverse health effects, but most researchers consider these claims to be pseudoscience.

Unknown wind wheel, which I discovered by accident near Altstätten, Switzerland, June 15, 2011.
Update:
This is a new development by G&S WBT AG for smaller individual units. The plant was filed with the Patent Office and starts rotating at a wind speed of 1m / s. At a wind speed of 2 m / s electricity is generated. It is a prototype and is already being advanced.

This 2 hour hike into the Tetons gets you to Wind Cave. The towering maw dominates the canyon on the way up. I didn't venture in too far, but spelunking guides describe the cave as highly technical, and one of the only caves to require the use of Scuba gear and crampons at the same time!
“I love rainstorms...the thunder, lightning, wind, all of it. So much going on at once, so many emotions...just like me.”
I like mixing romantic details with rock style (leather, black colour or punk belts). I bought in Veromoda Outlet blouse. It was too big for me. I thought that I will wearing it like skirt. One day I woren this blouse. I taken pink flower and punk belt. I had hot leggins cause wind was soo strong and skirt is transparent.
