1. Where is this?

4. Solano County, California.

This was taken out on Bird's Landing Road, in Solano County, California. There is a pretty large wind farm out there, along with cows, coyotes, and the occasional ranch. Not much else. I took it a month or so ago.

EDIT: It's formal name is the Shiloh Wind Power Plant. Here is a link if you are interested:

7. Thank you

Very interesting. I can't find who made the turbines. I wonder if the next expansion will have 3 megawatt turbines. The 1.5 were huge. The 3, ginormous!

2. That is a proud great grandparent of a windmill

A little old and a little rusty, a proud legacy.

5. I thought it was a nice juxtaposition

but I wish I hadn't clipped the end of the propeller blade off.

9. The Tehachepi wind farm

The Tehachepi wind farm at Tehachepi Pass (out on Highway 58 going from Bakersfield to Barstow) is larger, I think. You may have passed it in your travels down there.

10. We haven't driven in that direction in some time.

I don't recall seeing it.
