Wind Turbines in the landscape in Portugal
I stood on a hill in the Eastern Algarve looking at the beautiful landscape towards Spain.
It was too early for Spring Flowers but nevertheless the views were breathtaking.
I could see a multitude of Wind Turbines glowing in the winter sunshine and all turning in the distance – were they in Spain or Portugal ?
It didn’t matter- they were a part of the total experience. I knew at once that they must have been creating pure, clean energy and it felt good.
No intrusion of the view just enhancing !!

Dorset artist says yes to Wind Turbines they even enhance the landscape and are so important for our future on this planet
I agree, wind turbines are aesthetically pleasing and they don’t take up much room compared to a solar farm producing the same amount of energy. I was on Hambledon Hill very recently and the solar farm really is an eye-saw which detracts from the typical English beauty of its surroundings.
