ransom sunset

A bitter, cold sunset (we have been spoiled with warm weather lately) helps bring Thursday to an end. I am pretty sure there are more wind turbines than people in Ransom, Illinois.

wind fields

There is energy in the air.

the soybean fields

 

By this time of year the soybean fields are a beautiful green of such depth that they seem to be animated, especially when they are caressed by the winds and the green waves roll across the fields.

riding again

Here is a bit of a departure from all the recent black and white posts. Some of you may remember that I had a mishap with my motorcycle and a certain peacock earlier this summer. I am glad to say that the peacock was unharmed, the bike is repaired, and my scrapes healed up nicely, so, I am riding again!

no birds were harmed

So, I post this with a bit of sadness. A few weeks ago I had a meeting with a peacock. You read that correctly: a peacock. The good news is that no birds were harmed while riding my Scout Sixty. The bad news is that my motorcycle and I had a close encounter with the road of the worst kind. We are both fine and, hopefully, repairs won’t take too long.

Back to the wind farm, but this time in a monochrome mood. 

hmmmmm….

Would love to walk through that door and see what’s inside one of the wind turbines that you can see in my previous post. Maybe they are not wind turbines after all…maybe they are launch vehicles that will take us straight to……

For this post: our Midwest sky near Ransom, IL. This is one of the few remaining summer skies around here. Fall is slowly moving in.

My last post (for now) of these amazing wind turbines. I would like to say that I carefully planned this composition…that the wind turbines interesting resemblance to the sun star was intentional…  but I can’t. However, I do like the way it turned out. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week.

The third image in my “catching the wind” series. Not quite sure if a total of four images constitutes a series, but I will leave that for you to decide. Would love to climb inside one of these things some day….
