the last of the blades and turbines to the Oweninny wind farm development in north Mayo. It took a few months to get them all there. They started transporting them in Janusry. The photos were taken on the 16th of May.
Looks not a easy task to transport these huge blades... i have seen such blades being transported in trucks in highways here and they move slowly on the left lane. Nice shots
Bill, I've seen wind farms from a distance, and I knew the blades were long; but I had NO idea they were anywhere near this long! I always love your photos.
What is the approx length of each blade? Looks big from the photo.

Yes they are much bigger on the ground then seeing them in the air.
ReplyDeleteYes, they are huge when you see them on de ground.
ReplyDeleteSolche Transporte stehen oft auf den Rastplätzen an der Autobahn auf den Weg zur Arbeitsstelle dürfen nur nachts fahren wegen der Länge.
