Even up close, it's hard to get a sense of how huge these really are.
This shot shows the sense of size the best. The "small" windmill (about 40 ft tall) was about 200 yards closer to me than the wind turbine when I took the picture.

Perspective (Wind Turbines)
Within the last 5 years several wind turbines have "sprung up" in Oklahoma. Since the area is fairly flat (read "Great Plains") and windy (typically 15 to 40 mph) the wind turbines are an energy efficient method of generating electricity. (All photos copyright by Dave Miller).

Greetings - noticed your comment on David's blog.
Great shots - we have these wind turbines in exposed areas such as Cornwall and Yorkshire Moors etc - cause some ruction with conservationists. Massive close to - have photos somewhere of one of the blades on the ground.
Love your other photos - I'm keen on the big outdoors, plus the crown of thorns was fascinating. Cheers!
VERY cool!
