My first reaction when I saw these windmills was: Whoa, these were built by aliens! Then I kept thinking about Transformers (the movie). :p
Bangui windmills, the first power-generating windmill farm in the Philippines---a must-see when you're in Ilocos Norte. These gigantic wind turbines along the shores of Bangui Bay, Ilocos Norte, face the South China Sea and are considered the biggest in Southeast Asia. The turbines hub height is 70 meters, each blade is 41 meters long, and the base of a turbine is 6 meters in diameter.
"...As yet, the wind is an untamed,an unharnessed force; and quite possibly one of the greatest discoveries hereafter to be made, will be the taming, and harnessing of it."
- Abraham Lincoln, 1860

Bangui is 553 kilometers north of Manila, and 66 kilometers from Laoag City, the provincial capital.

Wow there should be more like this in that area since what I knew it's very windy there. It would surely help generate energy for cities or towns. Great shot!
ReplyDeleteThe sky
what a wonderful sight these windmills are. can you hear some noise when you get closer to them?
ReplyDeleteThese windmills are magnificent creatures.....they really do look like they are something out of the space age. The sky and clouds perfectly compete the shots in my mind. You definitely captured the complex beautifully.

ReplyDeleteYour last picture is very dramatic.
ReplyDeleteNothing new in Europe... they are all over the place... and as such I find them a disturbing element in the landscape similar to the huge billboards.
