The scale of these wind farms is beyond what we’re equipped to process in day-to-day human experience. They conquer the landscape in ways we can’t fully comprehend even when they’re in front of us. In a sense, they’re abstract sculptures of themselves, mostly visible in fleeting glances from interstate highways or airplane windows.
Here, as elsewhere, infrastructure is heroic.
@mattblaze@federate.social the Colossi of Tracy
@mattblaze@federate.social it’s an intensity you have to experience in person to really grasp.
@mattblaze@federate.social Unfortunately here in the Netherlands there really isn’t any empty space, so we get to admire them much more often.
