A Word from the Wind Energy People

It Takes a 100 Foot Trailer to Haul the Fan Blades

 

 

But, those wind turbine towers, power over 15 million homes in the USA.

A good contact in Texas let me borrow this animation, to share with everyone.

It wouldn't be a good idea, to start complaining about these things killing birds.

That's because, I have already addressed that problem and, no sense in arguing with me. 

You might as well, go grab your guns and, try discussing gun control with me.

Truth is, between wind, solar and the power available in the ocean, we could save lots of money.

And, tell those nuclear and oil people, where to stick the stuff !  Amen.

Friday Photo: Another Scene From Nakijin

This photo was taken September 13, 2012.

Below the coral outcropping I was standing on was the Nakijin Fisherman.

Intending to do a lengthy post about that day, I was processing more photos.

Well, I think that Typhoon Jelawat, might be coming early.

Power went off for a few minutes in my office and it's pouring rain, right now.

Not to worry.  Our buildings are built to withstand any old typhoon.

Just hope we get to see some blue skies, again before the weekend is over.

Another local weather linking sticker will be posted.

Power to the People: A Photo Made with the Pentax K5 Camera

This photo was taken March 6, 2012 at a place named Nature Mirai in Okinawa, Japan.

While waiting for some ospreys to show up I noticed this guy working on the power pole.



There weren't any birds to shoot so, I figured I'd shoot people instead.

The camera I was using was the Pentax K5.

My partners over at Adorama Camera are having a sale on this model through March 31st.

33% OFF on a Pentax K5 Body

or

27% OFF on the K5 with an 18-55mm Zoom Lens

That's a fairly good chunk of change you'd save if you're in the market for one of the toughest cameras made.

You wouldn't believe some of the places I've been or the crazy things that have happened when I'm out toting my Pentax around.  So, I won't tell you.

I'll just tell you, if they had laws against camera brutality, I'd probably be behind bars.

DISCLOSURE: If you buy a camera through my Adorama links, I get a few bucks.

YABADABADO !
