Offshore wind farms are popping up around the coast and getting ever larger. Not everyone is a fan of them but to be honest apart from the initial noise of the pile drivers during the construction phase I have not minded this one in Liverpool bay. It extends for miles and no doubt provides green energy for many thousands of homes.
I actually think the expanse of turbines looks quite cool and although they are quite a long way offshore there are times when atmospheric conditions are right that they appear much closer than they really are. On the day I took this picture i liked the layer of mist around the base of the turbines which lends a slightly ghostly effect as they rise out of the mist against the flat backdrop of the cloudy sky.
