Still a fan. (Sorry.)

Very nice scene, still not convinced they are right for our landscape.

Well captured, I think they need to be in context. Some areas of the West Country have been really spoilt but in the right landscape I quite like them.

they should make them look like windmills!

i dont know why but every time I see these it reminds me of the 1985 Tv series Blott on the Landscape!

I have to admit to liking the look of these, especially when there are a few together.

I quite like the look of them but I don't think they're the answer to our energy issues

They are almost an international icon by now.

I know they're controversial but I like them although I do agree with Phillip that their ancestors are rather more elegant. I was thinking that it'd be nice to design a house that had a traditional style windmill on top for its power...

I wonder how long it takes each one to generate the amount of power it took to create and install it... they look sort of elegant, but not a patch on their ancestors.
