"Wind Trees" or Wind turbines









I am fascinated by the new type of "trees" growing in the Wisconsin landscape. As I drive to work at Image Studios,  wind turbines have been erected in amazing numbers. The structures  are very breath taking and graceful but also intimidating.  Growing to four hundred feet in one day. Standing below one looking up, I felt like what an ant must feel next to a human.  Having mixed feelings about this type of  tree for the wonderful clean energy that is produced from its branches but also how the natural landscape has been changed.
