My familiar walk ‘down the
lane’ has undergone a change in landscape since last I strolled that way due to
the erection of four wind turbines that although about five miles away are big
enough to seem much closer; my reaction to them reveal some ambivalence – I am
in favour of renewable sources of energy, but four windmills in a field about
fifty feet above sea level won’t do much (certainly today - cold clear and
still - when the solar panels discreetly tucked away on my barn roof will
produce more) and though their size and elegance is impressive, they do detract
from the landscape, at least while freshly planted in front of it – hopefully in
time familiarity may lessen the impact.
