The Solway Firth

The Solway Firth
My last photo from this high Corpse Road before dropping back down to Loweswater. The Nearest shores being about 18km (11m) from where I am standing. The far shores are actually the counties of Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland. As can be seen here, great areas of our extensive coast are now filled with windfarms. Good for the planet maybe but not the most natural things on the horizons.
“The Solway Firth is a firth that forms part of the border between England and Scotland, between Cumbria and Dumfries and Galloway. It stretches from St Bees Head, just south of Whitehaven in Cumbria, to the Mull of Galloway, on the western end of Dumfries and Galloway. The Isle of Man is also very near to the firth.” Wikipedia

Glad you enjoyed this one Keith. A different light here compared with the ones I had before. As you say, wind turbines are now part of our lives.

Thanks Maurice, yes I remember when I last visited Norfolk i saw a lot of wind farms too. A pity really that this is the way it has to go, for unlike traditional windmills, they never do really look natural. Glad you enjoyed this one.

Beautiful! I'm not a fan of windfarms, but I suppose we have to put up with them, although there is a debate as to whether they are as efficient as first thought. Cheers, Rosa.

Thanks Rosa. I think you are right about these windfarms not being quite the thing they were once thought of. Very happy that you like this nevertheless.
