Tiny Dancers

This is a portion of the wind farm at Spring Creek Valley, Nevada. it was brought on line in 2012 and was controversial from the start. It seems that there was a migration of Mexican bats, that lived in caves close to the valley, and are particularly susceptible to the pressure changes created by the blades of the windmills. Additionally, the bird mortality created by this wind farm was expected to be unacceptable. What struck me was the quiet elegance of this remote site as opposed to the coal power plant in Page, AZ that I photographed a couple of weeks ago. I suggest the lessor of two evils, both with their inevitable consequences.
