Everything valuable is defenseless

Everything valuable is defenseless – Lucebert.
The horizon view has been sacrificed to our need for energy

[Beryl Lloyd]

A lovely land/sky scape , with a lovely cluster of clouds ! Fav . In years to come ,we will get used to see these turbines on the horizon -- In fact I do not see them as an eye sore but am fascinated with the monsters with their flaying arms !!

[Lesley]

I agree with Beryl, I quite like wind turbines, though I can understand how people feel that they are a blight on a landscape.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Very beautiful.

[Babs]

I love wind turbines and don't think they are a blight on our landscape. Much cleaner and healthier than coal powered energy

[Kathy]

And the wind turbines are out there on their own.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I know in some places they don't fit and look awful, but in this shot I kind of like them there! That probably doesn't sit well with the ones who actually have to look at them but I'm like Beryl- I'm fascinated by them.

[bkb in the city]

Very nice shot

[Esther Rosenberg]

Oh, I like the windmills. It is not that bad of a view. At least Holland is working towards a better world. Can't say this is happening in my neck of the woods. Don't get the started lol....we don't even separate recycling materials.

Beautiful landscape shot with lovely layers. I have no problem with them at all and find them rather interesting.

[moni kozi]

Superb vibrant summer colours

[KoalaGardens🐨]

looks so different to your lines of trees

[Kitty Hawke]

Fabulous clouds....and essential windmills....

[Dione Giorgio]

True. I have seen many along the road during our excursions from Brussels.

[Merrelyn]

They do change the landscape, but hopefully they have less environmental impact than using fossil fuels to generate electricity.

[Pyrrhula]

@merrelyn A lot of fossil fuel has already been needed to make and install these windmills. It is also still needed for maintenance. The discussion is now, does it yield some savings in their lifespan

[Jacqueline]

Ze zijn niet zo mooi en hopelijk leveren ze genoeg energie op

[Nina Ganci]

sight for sore eyes. A truly beautiful sight, to see this
Coming from South Africa where electricity is scares
fav

[Heather]

A beautiful landscape shot! Oh, dear- such a complex topic. But for the photo, the wind turbines add interest and complement the landscape, I think. Fav

[Fisher Family]

A lovely landscape shot, and a beautiful display of clouds - fav! Oh, and then there are all those wind turbines. And what do we do for energy when the wind isn't blowing? In winter, during high pressure and no wind, and the temperatures are at their lowest?

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

It's all a part of the agenda to do away with fossil fuels. Nerve mind the fact that these wind turbines need large sums of oil to keep them lubricated. Also it would take 233 5-megawatt wind turbines to equal a coal plant's output, since the wind doesn't blow constantly. Each would need to be spaced 2,065 feet away from the others (five times the diameter of their 413-foot rotors).

[Elyse Klemchuk]

I don't know that much about wind energy. I don't know how much we use it here in my state (Illinois) compared to other places in the U.S. and the world. I like the beautiful sky and clouds in this picture!
