Turbines

Last weekend on our way out to Oklahoma, we passed several of these turbine farms. They look small in this picture, but do not rest easy...they are HUGE!! One blade is as long as a truck and trailer combined, perhaps longer. Gene and I discussed this and we've come to the same conclusion. These things freak us out! Perhaps, we're meant to be :)  Not only are they huge, but the arms move so slowly. They remind me of something out of War of the Worlds. Have you seen these things at night? Each one has a huge red flashing light and it looks like some kind of extra-terrestrial pow-wow. At least one person agrees with me, or maybe he's just too nice to tell me I'm crazy!
