harnessing the wind

there are wind farms covering the hills of the columbia river gorge. you can see hundreds, maybe thousands of them off in the distance. i know that these wind turbines serve a good purpose...but i find them extremely creepy. i'm not sure what it is about them.


maybe it's their enormous size (they look small from a distance, but up close they are positively huge).


maybe it's the fact that you may only see one or two of them peeking over the edge, but lurking over that hill there are hundreds more. like i said, i'm not exactly sure why i find them creepy. they remind me of something out of a science fiction movie. like at any minute they're going to come to life, not unlike a transformer, and take over the world.
