I don't care much for the wind turbine, it being repeated in super abundance around the country, but the photography is pretty darn good considering what you had to work with. The Geo.


Thanks for the applause!

Well done and interesting series! I think the wind turbine is a lovely shot.


Thanks. In this case, form over function.

San Angelo is one of those funny places that can grow on you. I was stationed at Goodfellow AFB three times and have very fond memories of the area. Town-base relations were, at that time, some of the best in the entire military. But, alas, it is not the most photogenic place I have been.


The town still likes and respects its military visitors. And many of them retire here.

I really like #1. It is almost like you can see the energy (electricity) being generated.

Nice photos. I wonder how many people who dislike the windmills because they present a concern to birds, let their cats wander outside. Feral cats and wandering pets kill MILLIONS of birds every year.

I woke up bored today, so I decided to take a little drive around my home. Understand that a little drive for us is 100 miles. I took a secondary road up onto the divide (ours, not the great one), mostly because I hadn't been there for a while. Here are the things I saw, including a construction site for a new wind turbine array. When seen from afar, these don't look like much, but up close, their total reach of over 300 feet is impressive. And just think, it only takes about 200 of them to equal Hoover Dam output. Makes me wish every unnecessary light left on all night was not.

I can't decide whether the building in #2 is a really cool roadside sighting, or one of the worst examples of bad taste ever.(Maybe both!)
