The New York City Department of Transportation’s Art Program and New York Cares organized two Barrier Beautification painting events in conjunction with the New York Cares Day on Saturday, April 12, 2014. Queens based artist Mayuko Fujino beautified 280 feet of concrete barrier with 20 New York City Urban Fellows Program volunteers at 180th Street and Devoe Avenue adjacent to River Park in the Bronx.
The whimsical design “Spring Wind” illustrates a scene of warm spring winds and celebrates the revitalization of spring. The NYC Urban Fellows truly enjoyed their time painting the barriers and commented it was a fun community service activity to celebrate the end of their fellowships with the City.

Although the wind that determines the direction of the sail boat, but still human beings who decide which way to go
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!
The winding handle is made from 1" diameter Delrin. It's bored out just oversize so it can ride on a stainless sleeve over a steel bolt. It's quite solid, and feels better in the hand than the handle on my extension cord reel. No sharp edges, no parting lines from molding, it's comfy. And after field testing I decide it's not comfy enough, I can always make a different one!
This is part of the Kite Line Winder set.
It was snowing when we first arrived, but there were tracks in the snow from early visitors. For a brief moment, the sky started to clear, but soon the clouds rolled back in.
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!

Completely quiet and generating 21,000 kw of power a year. The Wind Spire.
There are 83 of these giant turbines in Canada's largest wind farm located southeast of Swift Current, Saskatchewan. They produce enough power for 64,000 homes. It's hard to tell just how big these turbines are from the photos. According to SaskPower, each of the three blades is 39 metres (128 feet) long; the height of the tower at the hub is 67 metres (220 feet); and the turbine blades reach a height of 107 metres (351 feet or about the height of a 30 storey building).
