The natural energy source I have always thought of when thinking of Texas is oil what a surprise to find massive wind farms scattered throughout the countryside.
Whizzing down the highway I captured this scene of a homestead planted smack in the middle of a cotton field surrounded by these wind turbines that I call quiet giants.
We took a side road and meandered around to get a close encounter with the wind turbines. Not exactly a tourist trap but an enjoyable encounter.

Photographing a wind farm is on my bucket list! Love these!
Thanks Bonnie! I hope you get to tick this one off your list you will be amazed!!
They have now started to erect these in our country… can’t wait to see them first hand. ..
I will love hearing your impressions once you have the chance to see them.
The forests of wind turbines seem to be popping up all over.
They surely do!
Great in Theory! Nice pespective too!
Thanks Ron!
Our neighboring state Iowa makes tons of use of those! Here in Nebraska we have a few but not enough to produce tons of electricity. Love the last image…the lines leading to the wind turbines is the perfect perspective!
…and right in the middle of a cotton field, that amazed me 🙂
OK, left a comment but it disappeared. Love these gentle giants
Sorry my page didn’t play nice the first time around, glad you gave it a second go! They blew my mind 🙂
Great post.
TY!
We have lots of turbines around this area now to make use of our famous SD winds! They manufacture them in the town I grew up in which is about 100 miles from here and we encounter the blades being trucked south on the interstate on a daily basis…They are such huge structures up close. Great to have clean, renewable energy production…and they are cool to see at night with all their blinking red lights.
A strong graphical and beautiful composition. These giants almost look elegant in your photo – your first. This photo has an ethereal feeling to it.
Thank you so much for your kind words Otto! We spent quite a bit of time amongst them and I am happy to hear that what I was feeling came through the image.
