I apologize; I’ve been rather short on time, motivation, and mental capacity to do any serious articles lately, and I feel I’ve let my readership down a bit because of it.  My job is going great, but I arrive home bushed, and by the time I watch my son and get him ready for bed, I’m ready to hit the hay and my mind is nowhere near a philosophy-based blog posting, let alone coherent sentences.
However, I wanted to share these crappy-ass cell phone pictures with you.  Every day my commute to Charles City takes me past the 75-megawatt, 50-turbine wind farm that is being built as we speak just on the edge of CC.  I love the fact that Iowa is getting tons of these farms going up — wind power is a great resource; clean, fairly economic, and plentiful.   Plus, I think the farms look very majestic and are fascinating to watch being built.
I’ve been taking photographs as I go to work with my phone; not the best, but there’s some pretty sunrises and you can at least see some progress. Â Â Enjoy.
Those are awesome! And that’s a good idea. Iowa is way windy. :O
One thing I loved about it there is how you can see forever
Your pictures make me feel happy.
Very cool. I always thought eastern CO/western NE would be a great candidates for a couple of these farms, too (I know there’s one in NE as you’re approaching the border). Really nice shots.
