Our nifty wind turbine in the fog

Turbine and abandoned cars (retinex)
Lots of people have been taking photos of our nifty wind turbine (or a PDF fact sheet), including some very cool sunset shots by biology prof Van Gooch that will be hanging up here in the Science Building sometime soon.

We had a very cool fog last week, and when I dropped Sub-Evil Boy off at school, the turbine was just peeking out through the top of the fog bank. With WeatherGirl‘s encouragement, I grabbed the camera and dashed off to snag some shots, several of which I’ve uploaded to Flickr.

I never did get the image that first caught my eye because we just don’t have anything telephoto enough for that shot, and by the time I was closer I was down in the fog looking up at the turbine. Yet another reason why we really need to get a digital SLR so I can buy fancy lenses again (evil grin). Still, I was able to have some fun and grab some pretty nice images.
