This is the Centennial Wind Farm owned by the electric company OG&E. There are 80 turbines and they can produce a total of 120 megawatts of power which is enough electricity to supply about 36,000 homes. The wind turbines are computer-controlled, with peak turbine performance at about 25 mph. For safety, the turbines automatically shut down if wind speeds exceed 55 mph.
We definitely have A LOT of wind here. In fact, the wind is about to drive me crazy right now!! At least it is blowing most of the leaves off the trees.
A few kaleidoscopes I created from the same photos.
Thank you Mary for hosting Mosaic Monday. Hope you feel better soon. Be sure to visit her blog Little Red House to see many (last week there were 90) mosaics from around our nation and globe.
Until next time,

Cool looking kaleidoscopes! Enjoyed your mosaic!
Those things are intimidating - they look like aliens. First time I saw them was in PEI a few years ago and now companies are pushing to erect them in our part of Ontario.
The kaleidoscope effect was neat.
Very interesting. They want to put one out on Cape Cod but people are fighting it. We need some more environmentally responsible way to get electricity. Beautiful shots and kalidiscopes! ~Jeanne

Loved your visit to my blog. The kaleidoscopes are wonderful. How do you do that?
I love how you are creating Kaleidescopes out of your pictures just like you would a piece of quilting fabric! :-)
