windräder jagen

interesting adventure that spans a couple weekends: windmill hunting

it all began with my accidental trip to hannover. unterwegs, i saw at least 10 clumps of windmills like little white trees on the hill side. it was a little surreal, as the only time i've seen such a thing in the US was in the california desert. and even then, what i remember was mostly from the vantage point of about 12000 ft above the ground.



on my way to work one day, i looked across the valley and noticed some movement on one of the hilltops very far away. kind of a flashing in the sunlight, but too much for a plane or helicopter. but when i stopped my bike, i could clearly see the three propellers spinning around. as this was a friday, i resolved to do some investigation over the weekend. to be continued... sometime. i have to go do laundry now.



more windmills, this time south of göttingen.
