That’s “wind farm” in Welsh – we’re at Llandinam farm, not far south of Newtown. The well-made shale roads around the site, which is almost entirely on access land, provide an excellent surface for walking in these wet times. It wasn’t wet this afternoon though – it was fine and sunny, with enough wind for the turbines but just a gentle breeze at ground level. Whatever their pros and cons, a wander around this large site is enjoyable – the views are extensive, and the turbines make interesting graphic shapes against the sky. And there’s undoubtedly something graceful about their synchronised twirling.
Ah, so after all I am not alone in finding some beauty in a wind farm. I thought it was just the engineer in me.
Keep up the good work — I always appreciate your pictures. Thanks.

Thanks for that – it’s good to know someone out there enjoys my efforts…
