Processing some more images from the past years of chasing... this was an incredible tornado within the wind farm near Rago, Kansas on May 19th, 2012. My first chase day after an arrival to US the night before. 12 hrs flight from Europe, straight drive from DFW to ICT, folowed by 6hrs sleep and then bang.

These are used to stir the air on cold nights to keep the fruit from freezing.
Maximum stacking. Green energy being gathered just west of Donghai Bridge on Shanghai's coast as the starry night rotates around Polaris.
She looked so adorable with her hair blowing in the wind, I just had to try and catch one shot.

Seen in a yard in the Irvington neighborhood of Portland, Oregon.
Testing my newly-built wind generator. Built from an old washing machine motor and PVC soil pipe blades, it's intended to charge a battery to power light in a remote stables.
(p.s putting your assistants in mortal danger is NOT the correct way to test such a device)
Kate and her new costume - the mechanism actually slowly turned about.
WW:motor - there's one in there making that key turn 'round and 'round.
It was crazy to see this insane wind go against the waves to this extent. There was mist spraying back and it looked amazing!
The 322 megawatt Whitelee Wind Farm was completed ahead of schedule in May 2009.
It is Europe's largest onshore wind farm, built by Scottish Power, which is part of the Spanish power company Iberdrola.
The wind farm uses 140 Siemens wind turbines.
Positioned 1200 feet above sea level, 9 miles outside Glasgow on the Lanarkshire fells, the wind farm has over half a million people living within a 25 mile radius.
It is one of the first large-scale wind farms to be constructed close to a large population centre.
The Scottish government has a target of generating 31% of Scotland's electricity from renewable energy by 2011 and 50% by 2020.
The majority of this is likely to come from wind power - this is a seriously windy country!
This particular farm - and pretty much every other one ever built it seems - generated a lot of opposition.
I've got very mixed thoughts on the issue: I support green energy wholeheartedly and in a strange way I think these windfarms can be quite beautiful, like ethereal creatures humming at the sky.
But if I lived right next to one, as many people on the outskirts of East Kilbride do with the Whitelee farm, I would probably think quite differently.
Great subject, very warm late afternoon light, good wind, it was too tempting to climb the fence of the field, the only problem was that in this field I did not see that there was a cow that gave birth a few hours before (the farmer was not very happy and certainly feared for my security). I guess I was lucky and will certainly check next time.

Kilmartin (Scottish Gaelic: Cille Mhàrtainn) is a small village in Argyll and Bute, western Scotland. It is best known as the centre of Kilmartin Glen, an area with one of the richest concentrations of prehistoric monuments and historical sites in Scotland.
Kilmartin Church
The churchyard has an important collection of early Christian and medieval carved stones. Some are displayed within the parish church itself, others have been gathered into lapidaria within the graveyard, others still remain lying within it.

Fowler Ridge Wind Farm LLC is owned by BP Alternative Energy North America Inc. and Dominion Resources, Inc. This is one of the largest single wind-power facilities in the U.S/World.
Made in London. McKeown lists the US model as between 1932-34, and the UK Six-16 as 1934-39, but doesn't give a date for the UK 620. I have yet to check Brian Coe's book.
