Seeing as there are already a few wind turbine photographs in the group pool, courtesy of Miss Dalek, I thought I may as well add mine.

I really liked them, nothing beats a good wind turbine picture!

Well actually it was a small job I did for McNallys the heavy lifting company I thought they would be a little mundane for the Graphics group, but I agree there is definitely something about these new additions to our landscapes. Strangely the turbines near my studio in France have only been up for a couple of months, but this morning as I drove over the hill and they came into view I was a bit rattled because they were all stopped and facing in different directions. It looked really odd - almost as if they had all had a blazing row and weren't talking to each other any more.

That would have been really weird!

I really wanted to shoot one of these going up, there was one that went up not so long ago in Stirling - you used to see these huge lorries driving up with the blades on their trailers - we drove about for the best part of a day trying to find the way into this place and all the roads took us away from it! I was scunnered, but then we went to this one in Carluke, it was so quiet and peaceful.

Ha! you must be Scots. I haven't heard anyone say scunnered for years. I lived in Edinburgh many, many years ago and a girl I knew then, used it about ten times a day. Thanks for the reminder.

Spot on - Glaswegian! Glad that I brought back some nice memories for you.

Upgrade Flickr with the Better Flickr Firefox extension



Everyone's favorite photo-sharing web application, Flickr, has had tons of ancillary applications and user scripts developed for it to tweak, mod and add to its functionality.
