When I was home visiting the fam, we went on a field trip one day over to Wolf Island. It was a fairly short drive and a short ferry ride over. The island is not big. Maybe 10 miles wide and 20 miles long. I suppose some people probably live there year round, but i think it is mostly summer homes and cottages. And windmills.
The island is covered in giant white windmills. Every direction you look. A wind farm.
They are for generating electricity. Not a foreign concept to me, but I have never seen one up close before.
They are huge and make the most amazing sound.
You stand there and stare up at it. The island is quiet really, just nature sounds, birds, bugs...
And hear the most amazing, quiet, powerful, whooshing.....
Harvesting the wind....
