Foggy winter morning






I spotted this field of towering wind turbines creating shadows across the hills near Maryhill, WA just as the sunlight peeked through the fog. The wind turbine fields are becoming a common sight along the Columbia River that divides Oregon and Washington. It's a perfect place to install this form of alternative energy as there is rarely a day that the wind isn't blowing!

Wind Energy in Oregon



On a recent trip through eastern Oregon, I was excited to see several wind farms up and running in farming areas south of the Columbia River Gorge. This area is known for frequent winds and is a perfect area to harness this natural energy.

Hopefully soon, more and more states across America will build wind turbines to use the clean energy this natural resource will provide.
