  • Found some windmills today.

    It was a little cold and a little wet but I found them. The wind farm just north of Tiverton next to the Bruce Power Visitor's Center. There are 5 operating windmills there each producing 1.8 megawatts of juice. Basically enough to power about 3000 homes on an annual basis. Each windmill stands 384' tall from the ground to the tip of the blade. It was pretty cool. Wish I had the fender on my bike today lol. I got a nice rooster tail going from the wet roads and most of it ended up down my back. It was about a 500km trip and about 7 hours including all our stops to thaw out.

      Great pics.

      You know that flag on the shovel really catches the eye. Not a bad idea when you think about it.
