When I was a kid I got these wind–up toys: a boxing kangaroo, a ladybug, and a NASA shuttle. When we were in Japan in Epcot I discovered they sold the same exact ones! I bought a grasshopper to add to my collection; Brad got a cow.
A wind farm or wind park is a group of wind turbines in the same location used to produce energy. A large wind farm may consist of several hundred individual wind turbines and cover an extended area of hundreds of square miles, but the land between the turbines may be used for agricultural or other purposes. A wind farm can also be located offshore.

A large wind scorpion from the Big Bend region of west Texas. A number of myths exist about these animals, some going back centuries. A more modern myth talks about how they can reach dinner plate size, stemming from a series of photos that circulated around the internet. Much as with what happens with reported "giant rattlesnake" photos, these images are simply optical illusions (and poor ones at that) based on trick photography.

Trying to learn the new camera (Canon 6D). So far, I'm amazed. One of many practice shots, taken in a 20 mph wind at 1/3200 shutter speed. I'm a long way from Kansas :)
Maine Wind Blade Challenge takes place at the school each year. More than 50 Maine high school teams compete each year to create an energy-producing set of wind blades in the annual Wind Blade Challenge. Produced through hands-on science and engineering school course work, students design, infuse, manufacture and test blades, going up against competitors during the one-day challenge.
Educators and manufacturers collaborate on this successful and growing STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) challenge, hosted by UMaine each year, raising career aspirations for students and developing a workforce for Maine’s growing composites industry.
