Background Information:
A wind turbine is a rotating machine which converts the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy. If the mechanical energy is used directly by machinery, such as a pump or grinding stones, the machine is usually called a windmill. If the mechanical energy is then converted to electricity, the machine is called a wind generator, wind turbine, wind power unit (WPU), wind energy converter (WEC),or aerogenerator.
This article discusses electric power generation machinery. Windmill discusses machines used for grain-grinding, water pumping, etc. The article on wind power describes turbine placement, economics and public concerns. The wind energy section of that article describes the distribution of wind energy over time, and how that affects wind-turbine design. See environmental concerns with electricity generation for discussion of environmental problems with wind-energy production.

Great Idea, who would have thought one on these would make a great photo.
Evan Johnson
Amazing shot, the contrast is perfect.
The photo really captures the size of one of these wind turbines, I saw a single blade on the ground and was shocked at how large these things really are.
Framing is nice, it gives you the feeling that you’re there.
