This is a photo of a wind turbine taken in central Illinois while on my way to St Louis this past weekend. Wind is a renewable energy source, meaning it can be replaced naturally. Wind turbines help reduce the amount of air pollution due to the fact that they do not produce any toxic emissions that may enter the atmosphere. They also have a small water footprint because they do not require any water for cooling and do not emit any harmful chemicals into waterways. However, some argue that the wind turbines are a visual eye sore and do not like the sound they make, creating a negative environmental impact for some. Overall, wind turbines have a positive impact on the environment and allow for resources to be sustained because the wind turbines help to make electricity in a natural way, allowing for other resources to be saved.
I did not think much of this when I took it but the simplicity of the scene has grown on me so here it is. It moves around in the wind very slowly so giving many possible combinations of the three vanes.
Poor shape this time and only 4 flowers per inflorescence.
Brs. Eternal Wind has a spicy sweet scent (daffodil, lilac, ripened fruits... and something else)

I was out birding in Norfolk & Haldimand counties today and was amazed at the number of wind turbines that dot the countryside. I thought this picture was appropriate because the stormy sky represents to me the storm of emotions and controversy that has irrupted since they have been installed.

Visitors joined us at our third prototype of a free outdoor market we plan to kick off Summer of 2013. The Wind Fair took place in the front lot and across from the Rotunda.

Phase I
In the first phase 6 MW, five German-made gearless VENSYS 62 wind turbines each capable of producing 1.2 MW were installed/connected with 11 KV HESCO network and started generation in April 2009.[3]
Phase II
In the second phase, 28 more wind turbines of 1.8 MW capacity each, supplied by Vestas of Denmark were installed to produce a total of 50.4 MW electricity.[3] This increased the capacity of the project to 56.4 MW. The project was completed in March 2013.[1]
In July 2013, Zorlu Enerji announced that its 56.4 MW Jhimpir wind power plant in Pakistan had started to sell power to the Pakistani national power distribution company after having passed all the required tests.[4]
Currently the privately owned Turkish wind farm is selling the produced electricity to Pakistan at a rate of 12.1057 US cents per kilowatt hour of electricity.[3]
Currently, 45 wind power projects of around 3200 MW capacity are under process in Pakistan.[5]

Possibly not processed how most would, but I've been experimenting. ☺
