Who says wind farms are an eyesore? This one looked pretty cool to me. It was a windy day, about 20 mph and I was testing out my new Canon HF10 (it passed, not bad for a $500 camera!) These things were massive and beautiful. Most shots here have no natural sound, because its just wind noise. If you were close enough (100 yards or less) you'd hear a big, low whoosh with electronic whirling noises, sort of like like R2D2.
Search "Lena Wind Farm-Wind Turbine Blade" video on Youtube to see a semi-trailer hauling one of these unbelievably huge blades.
Edited on iMovie 8.0.4.

  • nice. the cows looked happy, too.

  • Actually, the bull on the far left in the first cow shot was pretty mad at me. I had to evacuate that position about 30 seconds later!
