Monoliths

There are a bunch of wind generators about to go online near my home in Illinois, and I went to take photos of them while i was home, and while they were still pointed in different directions. Once they go online, they will always be pointed the same direction, into the wind. They have quite an incredible effect on the landscape. Somehow, though they are a good change from the coal power that is typical in Illinois, the landscape will never be the same. The flat horizon line will always be interrupted from now on, and any home within sight will never see sun rise or set quite the same ever again. It is a changing of the times.
