Wind Farms

April 5, 2008

Yesterday’s drive into Condon, was during the long-shadow part of the day in the dryland wheat farming hills of north central Oregon. Wind farms have been expanding ferociously in this corridor, and ones of truly epic proportion are clustered in the dozens, hundreds in total.

Here is a quick, 20-second clip of the beautiful shadows they create right at low-sun. The blistering wind chill–I’d estimate the wind was gusting upwards of 30 or 35 miles per hour–kept me from photographing as much as I’d like. There will, I hope, be a few acceptable shots once I develop my film.

p.s. Yes, sorry, I had something on my lens.
