Wind Power!


Don't go thinking I took this photo in the country somewhere... I took it in Paris, in a public garden located in the 17th arrondissement near the Pont Cardinet area. Of course this wind "turbine" won't produce any electricity, I suppose it's just a scenery equipment, but in other parts of France they do. We have a production of almost 8 000 MW through wind power, which compared to Germany (31 000 Mw),  or the US (60 000 MW) or... China (75 000 MW) is not much, but we're progressing...

  1. That is a lovely photo. Who would have thought you could find a corner of Paris that looks like rural Wisconsin.

  2. Great shot! I love that sky. The clouds near the horizon could fit the image of the song, "Ole Buttermilk Sky".

  7. The clouds! Oh, those clouds! They look like they are swirling in the wind. And the sky is soooo blue! Oh yes, the composition is great for framing the windmill and sky with the trees.
    Hard to believe you can stumble upon this rustic rural-like scene in Paris!
    One thing for sure is you don't see anything like this on other "Paris" web sites. Kudos to Eric!
