Driving across Kansas today on my way back from Colorado, I actually had the opportunity (er, took the time) to stop and admire one of the cooler things about this state – the wind farm off I-70. Kansas may not be seen as a progressive state…well, in reality, who am I kidding. Evolution was banned from state assessments when I was in high school. Fortunately, some Kansans have evolved (others, however, still don GOP political stickers).

 

Anyhow…I thought I’d take a page from Michael Robinson Photography and upload some pictures to the carfry. Afterall, sometimes I just don’t have all that much to say. Ok, wait, I retract that. I generally ramble on and on…sometimes speaking as if an ellipse is required at every breath…as a way to tag more on…

It’s hard to really grasp the extent of this wind farm found just west of Salina, KS. For those of you not familiar with the geography, it’s just west of BFE. Set in the middle of rolling hills stand endless turbines…literally, it seems to go on for miles. And heck, it does! My dad calls it Windfarm, KS. The developer’s website claims it’s over 14,000 acres – that nears 22 square miles. 

Here are some (unedited) pictures for your viewing pleasure, taken with my lil’ point ‘n shoot.
