These windparks were mostly installed between 2004 and 2007, between you visit. And there are going to be more.

I think there were only a handful of individual turbines in 2004 if any !

Construction is progressing at an alarming rate.

And while I'm happy to work on them, I'm not really ready to accept a whole horizon full of them.

To me the clear horizon over the western egde of the sea symbolized space, freedom and something untouched by humans and I enjoyed looking at it that way. Now it is more and more boxed in with these windparks.

But there is no way around it, we need them as the best solution, cutting down on energy consumption, is an impossible sell to most people.
