Changing times!

Well, back home the landscape will never be the same! They are putting up a wind farm that will have about 72 wind turbines. So far, just north of the lake when you stand on the beach you can see the 12 that they already have up. It is quite the sight! I knew they were coming but it still takes your breath away when you drive over the hills on your way home and see these HUGE wind towers from miles away! Then you get home and realize they are in your back yard and the landscape you remember as a child isn't there anymore. It is kind of bittersweet!

Here is a picture of my mom standing on one of the wind tower bases. As you can see they have to dig quite the hole for the base!


Here is the next phase where they add the medal rods to help stabilize the towers.




Here is a picture again of my mom standing by the propellers. They are HUGE!



If you look close you can see men walking on top of these things! I wouldn't want that job!

Here they are getting ready to add the propellers. . . again look close and you can see the men walking around at the top!





Here is a picture standing on the beach looking across the lake!

If you look at the family picture of us on the next posting and click on it to see it bigger. . . you can really see all the towers! :-)
