Photo of the Month: April 2014

Rotary Club
Rotary Club, Glendevon

10th April 2014, Green Knowes Wind Farm, Glendevon

A 40 minute hike uphill from the road through Glendevon to reach a line of 19 turbines strung out along the ridge.  The blades make loud whooshing sounds when you stand anywhere near them and the gears and bearings make strange grating sounds too when the brakes are applied.  They seem to stop and start in unison as if they are being controlled.  It was quite an eerie atmosphere when I got took this about 30 mins after sunset in the fading light. I used the dry stone dyke and the shadows created by the grasses to lead the eye.
