Wind Turbine at Kilham

Love them or hate them?

Friday 25th September 2015

Which side of the fence are you on? I sit in the middle. They are functional - well sometimes, when the wind blows. They provide an alternative to fossil fuels - that has to be good. They are a thing of beauty - they can be in the right light. Lots of them can provide much needed electricity - Lots of them can be a blot on the landscape. We could always use less electricity by turning lights off and not using our computers and mobile phones as much! 
I drove to Rudston Beacon above Kilham and photographed this wind turbine as the sun was setting. I needed a very small aperture, to give me a slow enough shutter speed to blur the blades and show movement.
