"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.

Terri,

I agree with you. I do love that we are trying to use our resources wisely. And yet feel a bit sad at how they look, they just arent as beautiful as what nature gives us.
