The scale of these wind farms is beyond what we're equipped to process in day-to-day human experience. They conquer the landscape in ways we can't fully comprehend even when they're in front of us. In a sense, they're abstract sculptures of themselves, mostly visible in fleeting glances from interstate highways or airplane windows.Infrastructure is heroic.

Red blinking lights at night to warn aircraft because of their height."Infrastructure is heroic."matt-- how about a color photo where they look playful and natural (like teletubbies)northern cal's wind power infrastructure is such a contrast to southern california's oil derricks next to the highway:sciencing.com/oil-derrick-pump
