This beautiful display of noctilucent clouds called for a good foreground. I was frantically riding my bike, searching for something I could use, when I rode past this windmill. Using it as a silhouette was a no-brainer. I'm really happy with this result.

Sweeps and Speckles. A warm, sunny 10km run down to Rottingdean and back, along Old Parish Lane and over Beacon Hill to the #windmill and its four black sweeps (‘sails,’ if we weren’t in #Sussex.) I haven’t seen many #butterflies yet this year, so it was lovely to spot a Speckled Wood in the hedgerow up the secret passage, exploring the celandines and periwinkles. There was also a skylark on the ground by the mill, still singing its heart out, unconcerned by my presence. #running #Brighton

Silent Sunday

I have to come past Sutra wind farm once a day on average at the moment. I always appreciate the view. Of course as normal, they were all turning. This was taken at lunchtme today - almost unprecedented weather streak for the Scottish Borders at the beginning of April

Transition piece example scale model.

The transition piece of an offshore windmill sits at sea level between the underwater support and what you see at the windmill.

This was built as a test commision for a company that designs the windmills.

I built this from scratch to the CAD designs at 1:48 scale. I recreated everything to my highest level of accuracy.

Here you see the lower platform of this section and a ladder up to the upper floor.
