Wind Farm Albany. HFF

Wow, they are very big.

They are truly huge and its not till you see people next to them you get a good idea just how big. they also do make a low noise as they turn as well.

bien défigurée cette côte, mais la photo est belle

A very windy part of WA so it makes sense to put them here they are away from people as well but no matter what you cant miss them they are so big.

Very green land on a definitely windy coast! HFF, Steve!

Next stop to the left South Pole, very wet area of West Oz and very Very windy as you can see by the wind cut vegetation. HFF you have a good weekend.

HFF!

HFF and hope you have a great one as well.

Progress in right direction., HFF

it is when its this far out of town and isolated, HFF hope your weekend goes well.

What a great photo. Steve. well taken and its so interesting.... HFF and enjoy your weekend.
Sarah

Its a very interesting area thats for sure from town you can only just see them turning. HFF from down under.

Superb capture and a shot of the future Steve
HFF and a great weekend.

It should be when you have this much wind and space. HFF you have a good weekend.

An excellent capture of this impressive wind farm Steve, and an enticing glimpse of the coastline. They really dwarf the people in the shot and it is good to have them in the shot for scale purposes. Give me a wind farm over a nuclear power station anyday!

HFF and have a good weekend

The People where the shot and to get this its a two shot vertical panorama to fit this all in. yes the way forward. Chernobyl one to many. HFF you have a safe weekend.

I know, we have been "offered" same monsters... and so you also know how noisy they are...
HFF Steve

They are ok this far away from homes but not good just above homes thats for sure but the right way to go, HFF you keep enjoying the weekend, Good to hear of Andy.

I'm always impressed by these wind turbines. I recognize them due to their specific ovoid form, these are ENERCON's, right? HFF Steve.

Image result for what type of turbines are the wind farm in albany
The original Albany Wind Farm turbines are ENERCON model E66, each with three 35 metres (115 ft) long blades made from fibreglass and kevlar (making them very flexible in order to withstand any conditions) and are fitted to 65 metres (213 ft) towers.
Location: near Albany, Western Australia
Make and model: Enercon: 12 X E66; 6 X E70

100% correct they certainly are a better power source down here on this windy coast. HFF from the bottom of WA.

Thanks for the information, Steve. I recognize well their shape (my son builds those wind turbines for Enercon in Europe!).

A great shot of these wind turbines, Steve. HFF and have a great weekend.

They have there place just like sun farms in the huge desert area, HFF hope you keep safe from the thing going on in the east.

The Mill Island--aparte sceneHFF Steve

Many thanks Fred HFF to you in the North.

HFF, Steve und ein schönes Wochenende! Sicher gibt es dort genügend Wind!

HFF from the very windy West hope your is not so..

HFF, genieße das Wochenende.

HFF and all the very best from the West.

HFF and enjoy your weekend.

HFF I know yours will be better, ours strong winds and rains.

HFF, Steve, enjoy your weekend.
Many years ago we saw huge wind farms in USA, in the desert between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. At that time there were very few wind turbines here in Germany. That has changed too.

the right place for them well away from homes and in the winds. HFF hope your weekend goes well.

Small fence, huge structure!
HFF & have a great weekend.

the fence like the people are totally dwarfed by the huge base and the size of the area just the same. HFF you have a greet weekend.

Yes they are everywhere now, no matter where on the globe we go. Maybe at the two poles next. Great couple of captures here. Well done.

HFF, have a great weekend. Herb

Its a good thing as the pose no threat but noise of the turning blades the further from homes the better. I would take this well over Chernobyl any day I think what the world needs more investment in. HFF hope you week end is better than ours.

HFF, Steve!

HFF from the land down under.

HFF Steve!

HFF hope your weekend is better than ours weather wise.

Seems to be a very windy region. HFF, wish you a sunny weekend, Steve !

very windy down here so make great sense to use these wind farms, HFF all the best from down under.

Hi Steve
You have found a very different and interesting picture this week.
I like it very much!
Fantastic scale comparison of the people too
Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
Peter

you really need the people to bring any scale here to the shot. HFF you keep safe.

Yes, without the people it would be hard to appreciate the unnerving size of the wind turbines and the vastly of the landscape. I also followed the people to find the fence :))))
Belated HFF!

many thanks we are so small up against these , HFF hope you weekend is a better one than ours wind and rain.

So good to see them Steve. We need about 5000 more.
Have a bright new week…..greetings from ACT…D
