WINDMILLS ~ September 29, 2007

Don Quixote: Dost not see? A monstrous giant of infamous repute whom I intend to encounter.
Sancho Panza: It's a windmill.
Don Quixote: A giant. Canst thou not see the great arms whirling at his back?
Sancho Panza: A giant?
Don Quixote: Exactly.

An army of windmills!

This wind farm can be seen on I-10 near Indio, CA (in Altamont Pass just east of Hadley's Fruit Orchard). The area contains more than 5,000 wind turbines that look like giant pinwheels spinning in the breeze. It takes 10 minutes to drive through them all!
