Bethany and I went to Fredericksburg, Texas for our 2nd anniversary this week. We were wandering around the cute little downtown area when suddenly these three HUGE semi trucks rolled down the main street carrying windmill parts.

Now, I’ve seen plenty of windmills out in the desert, and I know they’re big. But I was totally blown away by the size of these monstrous things. The picture really doesn’t show their scale. There were as long as two normal semi trucks, and the wide part of the blade towered over the top of the semi. A little while later the windmill’s generator turbine rolled through town, taking up two full lanes. Astounding.

Oh… apparently you’re supposed to call them Wind turbines.
