Blue Energy

Hundsheimer Berg, Lower Austria

View from Hundsheimer Berg to Lake Neusiedl. In this plain in eastern Austria, several hundreds (!) of these wind power plants have been built. One may not be happy with their optical appearance, but as far as energy production is concerned, they are very efficient. They contribute a lot to the fact that Burgenland, Austria's easternmost provice, has become the first "energy self-sufficient" region in Europe, i.e. all the energy used in there is produced locally from renewable sources.

Nikon D70 ,Sigma 1:4.5-5.6/135-400 APO
1/800s f/22.0 at 300.0mm iso640 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

They appear to be located over farmland. Good idea. Nice photo too.

I wonder if you could have taken this image on a slow shutter, if the whirl of the vane could be caught. Very nice anyway.
