Driving into the future

    Newer Older

    First, I want to say thank you to all of my Flickr friends and wish you a most excellent Friday. I reached 10,000 visits yesterday, in just over 3 months of becoming involved. I do Web 2.0 for my business (e.g. Wonkosphere.com), and Flickr is my social network community of choice.

    When we drive between Phoenix and LA on Interstate 10 it's always fun to go by the wind farms in San Gorgonio, California (near Palm Springs, east of Los Angeles). They dominate the landscape for about 5 minutes, and it's kind of other worldly.

    I teach Technology Management, and so many of my students have done technology analysis projects concerning wind power. One of the oft-cited drawbacks is that people think they're ugly. Do you agree?

    Are modern wind mills ugly?

    If so, what could be done to make them more attractive to people?

    All of us need to pitch in when it comes to energy, most so those of us in the U.S. We drive into the future together.

      Nice photo. So nice in fact that I would like to use it in a campaign (amongst other pics) for a client here in Sydney Australia. Could you let me know if it is possible for me to use and how you would need me to attribute you on print? Or please let me know what your fee would be for the use of this great image at a nice high resolution. I have added you as a contact if you could let me know asap that would be fantastic!! Thanks for your photographs! Ann-maree
