Summary edit
| Description |
English: Wind turbine nacelle passing through Tow Law on A68. I spotted this heavy load/wide vehicle coming towards me so I quickly got ahead of it and parked up. The vehicle had just cleared the main high street and was accelerating, hence the blurred picture taken at just 1/30 second and ISO 800.
The nacelle, the bit housing the turbine and that the blades are attached too was stunningly large, almost as high as the eaves of the houses. I would imagine that it's quite heavy too given that it is on a 5 axle/20 tyre flat bed trailer, complete with a German registration plate at the front. I have submitted another pic showing a forward view, see 1150883 For more info on the inside of the beast see http://www.windpower.org/en/kids/intro/intronac.htm This is a wind turbine that will be noticeably taller than other wind turbines in the vicinity, 100 metres tip height, see the developers info at http://www.banksdevelopments.com/energy/sites/renewable/north_east/West_Durham_Wind_Farm/ |
