Natural & Wind Farm Landscapes #1 Collection

back to gallery

All but a tiny percent of the photographs in this collection were shot in northern Carbon County Wyoming, for a 10 minute movie made entirely from still photographs. The movie was used as the introduction to the Wind Energy and Visual Considerations in Wyoming Workshop that was held at the University of Wyoming in June 2009. The movie was again shown at the Governors WInd Energy Symposium in August 2009.

Subjects in this collection include natural landscapes and landscapes with human-made elements, wind farms, close-up wind turbine images, birds and animals, ranches and cattle, towns, highways, rivers and reservoirs.

Carbon County is a prime location for wind energy development because of the very positive conditions that exist there for successful electrical wind generation, and is being strongly considered for upwards of 10,000 new wind turbines.

One important consideration in choosing sites for wind farms is the impact such development will have on that particular viewshed or landscape. The still images and movie are an objective documentation of northern Carbon County. I photographed the beauty I found there with as little judgment as possible.
