Wind Central

Windmills are popping up on the ridge line like mushrooms on a warm morning after a soaking rain. They are clearly visible from down in the valley but many of them disappear from view as we approach the Aerie. They are juuusssst over the ridge and down behind the trees. I made Terry stop the Jeep so I could take a couple of pictures.

Two windmills just to the west of the Aerie.

Three more just above and to the east of the Aerie.

Only one of these is at all visible from the Aerie and then only if you know just where to look. Even then all you'll see are one or two of the blades as they lift above the tree line.

When we got back to the Aerie, they were hard at work erecting one of the windmills across from us on the hillside I photographed a few weeks ago when it was full of color. Now it will also have three windmills.

A crane lifts the second section on one of three across the way.

As you can probably deduce, we have no Kennedys living in our neck of the woods to complain about the damage to the environment from fossil fuels AND block construction of windmills or the drilling of gas wells.

Thank goodness!
