Blades

Of course I stopped beside the road to photograph a trainload of wind-turbine blades. You’d’ve done the same.

It was an astonishing sight.

Saw/blade

I am not sure why blades on wind turbines would need to be replaced. I am not sure why, when they are replaced*, they’re stacked up on the outskirts of Levelland. I am not sure how long they’ll be here, or where they’ll go next.

But I am sure of this: they are huge, even when they’ve been sawed into pieces.

*Or maybe the towers are being removed?
