Wind Turbines

Looking out of my bedroom I can sit watching beautiful sunsets with glorious sky colours and cloudscapes. Along with the sunsets there are two tall wind turbines that whir round and round. I have lived in Falmouth for nearly seven months and had not found a route to visit them until now.

Many people that live around them struggle with their appearance, vibrations and noise levels, 'ruining the landscapes' and the turning blades killing birds and our protected bats along with obstructing their migration patterns.

Although many of these points are valid and true, I personally find the turbines beautiful and a defining part of our landscape. They are a brilliant piece of engineering that helps towards conserving and saving our planet.


Below are some of the photographs of the turbines and surrounding landscape.

Within this landscape there a many opportunities to study the varying wildlife that live in the different habitats. These habitats consist of consist of large rows of hedges, hilly and flat grasslands and farmland.The only colour out at the moment is a strong yellow seen by the daffodils and gauze flowers.

Hope you enjoy the images
