These ones are really old, Neetzy; some of the first in Europe. I could see them from my old house in Martham and I've always thought them beautiful. Being very flat around here we get some awesome skies, especially in stormy weather.
Ms.M: yes, they do. We have huge offshore wind farms (you can see one in the Yarmouth posts) and lots of onshore, too.
Hee hee, Petrea. It seems silly not to harvest something we have such a lot of.
I've seen blades for the fans being hauled on the highway to be "planted" on their farm, each of them a 100 ft long. How would anything that large be taken on the tiny roads you've shown in other photos? Do the really big guys get planted on the coast?
Hi, Speedway! That's a really good question. These turbines are at a tiny place called Winterton which is only accessible via little winding roads. It must have been quite an operation to get them there. There are much larger turbines on the coast and also near the main arterial road at Swaffham so I suppose they must have sized them to fit the road.
Neetzy, New England (and Jersey) is a clone of Norfolk. That's why we settled there. And fished for lobster. And built lighthouses (I'll post ours one day).

Now that's the kind of wind turbine I'm used to seeing. I love the moody sky.
Do the wind turbines generate a lot of energy for Norfolk?
I like the feeling of this photo with the pensive sky....
Lovely, lovely. If I had a farm I'd raise wind, too.

WV: "Inammani" spelled backwards is inammani.

Dive, Norfolk still reminds me of "home". Flat with salt marshes, moody skies and close to the old (less fashionable) beach resorts.
