Blast from the past: Wind turbines and sheep

The year was 2010 and I was in North Wales on a short photoshoot break. On the way to a location, we passed these large wind turbines with a flock of sheep grazing below, apparently unaware of the giant structure above. We stopped and I took a number of shots, originally intended as stock photographs, although they never got much further than my hard drive!

It’s not for me to debate whether or not the manufacture and erection of these giant metal structures is more, or less, environmentally friendly than traditional methods of electricity generation, or whether the blot on the landscape is more or less intrusive than rows of electricity pylons strung together with miles of cables. Either way, the sheep seem to have got used to them.
