Today I was driving across Barton Bridge on the M60 and noticed a set of striking structures on the Pennines to the north of Manchester - 26 of them to be exact.
They are the wind turbines of Scout Moor wind farm.
The upper image shows the hill as seen today Sunday 15 June 2008 from Simister. The lower image is a detail from my Manchester Mega-Photo, looking from the Hilton Tower on Friday 10 February 2006.
Are they a blot on the landscape, just striking or even beautiful?
Feel free to discuss the pros and cons of wind power
