It was too difficult to get a good photograph of the wind sock being blown around by the wind, so I (Edgar) took a video.
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.
Just another fantastic wind turbines high above the building that add elegance to the structure.

I took out the little metal spacer that goes here. The screws on my spool adaptor get in the way. I sincerely doubt I'll get any light leak issues due to this (the winder is a bit loose in the case).
The bit of tape in the lid is where I pulled out the metal spring that works on the 116 spool. I didn't really need to do this, it was just a result of an earlier attempt to get a spool adaptor working (I thought the 120 spool was catching on it).

Hello, the trees wave,
The leaves whispering and laughing,
Full of mirth they sing,
“The storms are coming to play,”
Softly they lead the clouds along,
The giggle growing stronger,
Swirling, twirling, guiding the storms,
Oh watch the Wind Dancers play.
Outfit number two, that will be released on my etsy. Amelia got to model it.
More info coming soon.

Some of the many wind turbines that can be seen in Mid Wales these days. Perched high on hilltops they dominate the landscape. We have the luxury should we wish to take them out in Pshop. Those that live with them don't.

I chased the wind through canyon halls, its laughter wild and thin,
A restless hymn on open wings, it called me to begin.
The sky was painted every blue, a canvas vast and wide,
I let it pull me far from you, with no one by my side.
The rivers ran with stories told, their voices soft and deep,
They carried whispers from the past, where memories still sleep.
I heard your name in rushing streams, it curled beneath the foam,
A fleeting trace of love undone, a place I can’t call home.
The wind it circles, never still, a lover never claimed,
It kisses mountains, bends the trees, but never takes a name.
And like the breeze, I roam alone, unbridled and unbound,
But every gust reminds my heart of what I never found.

This is a photograph from the 3rd annual running of The Lough Lene Gaels Hurling and Camogie Clubs New Year Road Challenge which was held in Collinstown, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Sunday 11th January 2015 at 13:00. There were two races on offer today - a 10KM road race and a 5KM road race, fun run, and walk. This is one of the first road races in the midlands of the New Year 2015. As this was a community orientated event families were especially welcome in the 5KM race. The race was organised to raise funding for the development of the GAA pitches for the Lough Lene Gaels Hurling and Camogie Clubs. Overall this was a very successful event with a very large field of well over 300 participants in both races combined. The great local effort was exemplified by a very big local contingent from Collinstown and neighbouring areas.
The 5KM race was an out and back course on the Collinstown to Fore Road. The 10KM was also on an out and back course with a deviation between 2KM and 7KM for the longer race. There were several tough hills but an equal amount of down-hill. There was a bitter cold wind on the backs of participants of the 10KM for the first half of the race which unfortunately turned to become a headwind for the return stretch to the finish. The turn around on the course for the 10KM came at Doyle's Pub [goo.gl/maps/WxPSy - Google Streetview] at Glenidan. Refreshments were served afterwards in the Lough Lene Inn where the prize ceremony was also held.
Due to the inclement weather and poor lighting we had to, unfortunately, delete a lot of our photographs as there were very many blurs and fuzzy pictures. However, we have an extensive set of photographs from today's events on the following Flickr Photoset Page: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157649832542838/

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
