It actually looked quite impressive on the local news this evening, blades still spinning as the hub blazed away. I wonder how far the blades went when they finally burnt through..... :D

I can't make my mind up whther I like these things or not.

Too many, and too high certainly dont do much for any landscape.
Can we afford to have aesthetic worries?
I think so, and a small gathering of these on certain isolated sites can look
strangely beautiful.

Anyone else confused?
Didn't see many in Caithness last October thinknig 'bout it. Just one, near Dounreay, but maybe I wasn't looking hard enough.

If the full size images don't open up just copy image url and edit out the "thumb" part.

Hmm, would appear that someone hiding behind the anonymity of the rep system thinks I am "sucking" up to you Rheggers!!!

Must be one of the noobs - if they cared to read some of our previous exchanges they wouldn't accuse me of that ;)
