Beautiful Windmills

Windmills

We are vacationing in Cape Vincent, NY right now.  Right across the river is a Canadian island called Wolf Island.  On this island are 50+ windmills that likely provide most of the power for the island.

From the shores of Cape Vincent you can see Wolf Island across the river.  My first reaction was startling.  There are a lot of windmills visible and I must say I can see how people might think of them as an eye sore.  I think the look of windmills is the underlying complaint people have against them.

However, the existence of these windmills quickly turned from being startling to being beautiful.  These devices are taking what naturally passes by them and turns that energy into a form we can use.  I still see them, obviously, but they no longer are objectionable.  In fact, they are beautiful.
