Hugh has a good eye for photo composition, and seems to find scenery that is so right on the day. Here is one of his photos,taken at our place on 6th May 2011. He used his Canon Powershot G9, smaller than the 40D, but it always takes a perfect photo.
On the 21st June last year, we went North to the Kaimanawa Ranges, this is the Waipakihi Stream, taken with a Canon 40D.
There are good 4WD and quad tracks to the top of the Tararua Range, and this day a group of cyclists were out for some fun, and hard pedalling. A little further along ,the wind turbines dominate the skyline, providing power from nature, a never ending source, the blades turn almost gracefully, and in my opinion, make a quiet humming sound, are not an eyesore ,and in NZ we should be thankful the wind can be and is used this way.I think they stand tall, like signalmen, showing the traffic where to go.

What a great area to visit and cycle! I too believe that wind turbines are 'the way to go' as far as generating power. We have a few in Nova Scotia as well with some people not wanting them 'in their backyards'! It only makes sense that if the health risks are kept to a minimum, wind turbines are and can be environmentally friendly and useful.
I hope that your problems with the pc and virusprogram are history soon :)
Hugh could have his own blog :))
Yes, wind power should in MHO ( my humble opinion) be used wherever it can,and the turbines are usually in a location or on land that will not be used for intensive farming. Brit, I will mention this to Hugh, he takes super photos, and I do not want to load my latest ones here,but might have to, just use a new folder.Greetings from Jean.
