Thanks for posting these photos, Warrenski ! I clean forgot about visiting this site when I was on leave in the Western Cape recently. Also very excited about Skaapvlei's proposed windfarm - it's within spitting distance of where my family lives.

@spacekriek: no problem, glad you like the photos. It truly is phenomenal how huge those turbines are, definitely worthy of a visit when you get a chance.

Visited the darling wind farm at the end of March and made some nice pictures. I heard on the radio it did have some problems starting up. Anyone know what the current state of these turbines are?
