I love the old wind power mills and this Snowy Owl added the perfect touch. He didn't stay too long hanging on in a strong wind.

Nature vs technique - environment and engineering - irreconcilable differences?
Natur und Technik - wer ist Gewinner, wer ist Verlierer?

The sight of wind turbines has become common in many parts of the country - this "wind charger" was new back in 1931.

I am on another shorttrip to Borkum. The ship on the horizon is for "planting" the big offshore wind-parks in front of the german coast, what explains the title :)
If you've driven across the deserts in the West recently, you can't get away from seeing wind turbines in your scenery. I've grown used to them and I know that they are a cleaner way to produce power. One of these turbines in less than an hour can produce enough electricity for an average home for a month. In a month it will produce enough power for over 900 homes.
This picture was taken just outside of Ocotillo on the way to the Anza Borrego State Park. Ocotillo are one of my favorite desert plants. My first experiences of them were in the Arizona desert and they looked like dried out sticks coming out of the ground. I remember my dad telling me that they have to have water in the spring to get leaves and flower. One year it rained and I got to see green leaves and beautiful flowers coming out of the top these sticks. I was hooked.
The Ocotillo were beautiful this year with all the rain this spring. Green leaves and flowers were everywhere on this trip. When we came through here, we both thought the flowers and the turbines would make for an interesting photo opportunity. Bringing the beauty of the desert with the modern technology.
Wind is still free and powerful; I wonder how long until somebody works out a way to tax it. I was delighted to see the old and new working side by side in on a hillside in South Australia and had to have a photo.
