My 24" Intel Core Duo iMac's hard disk died on me the Friday before last. Luckily it is still under warranty so I was able to send it in the following Monday for repairs and it was back to me in no time. They even upped my disk capacity from 250GB to 320GB... BONUS! I've been up to my ears with preparations for our Halloween parade this Saturday so I haven't had that much time to reinstall all my applications. I installed and updated Adobe CS3 yesterday and finally got Lightroom 2 installed and updated today.
Last week on Wednesday I went for a drive with my wife and we decided to go check out a new wind turbine they're building here in Amami.
Monument of Power
I've seen wind turbines on TV and on the Internet plenty of times. I new they were big but when you get up to one kind of close, you really start to understand just how big they are. While taking these photos Don Quixote flashed into my mind, but you won't find me tilting at this windmill...
Maybe a Bit Distracting
This wind turbine is located right next to an 18 hole golf course. This driving range is in plain view of the wind turbine. I think maybe some righties will get a bit distracted by its huge spinning wings.

Clouds, Turbines and Golf Balls
From Nagahama
You can see the wind turbine standing tall on the distant mountains in the above photo. My daughter was the first to notice this a few weeks ago.
It was pretty cloudy with sunny patches throughout the day. Sometimes it was bright and sometimes it was very dark. I wasn't able to take very consistent photos on this day. I just need to keep practicing. :D

Keep the language clean please. I have family that see this. Tell us what part of the world you're in.
