Theme Day: Electricity



It's the first of the month once again in the City Daily Photo blogging community. My "theme day" image is a wind turbine from Quincy's water treatment plant on Deer Island in Boston Harbor. The wind turbines produce enough electricity to defray about $250,000 per year in energy costs. Enjoy checking out other interpretations:

Come back to QDP next Thursday for another "old house" photo and thanks for stopping by.

Good one for theme day. I see why people have the NIMBY syndrome over them, though.

Love the renewable energy sources. I haven't ever seen one like this before.

It's really a great choice for the theme day. I love this phot, it's seem that the clouds are forming with the windmill.

I don't recall ever seeing a ducted wind turbine before. Very neat interpretation of the theme! That kind of savings really adds up!
