Glebe, wind turbine

This wind turbine is located along the foreshore of Blackwattle Bay, at the entrance to Johnstons Canal, in the inner west suburb of Glebe. The turbine is used to power an artwork titled "Earth vs Sky" which has been installed in Bicentennial Park. This is the first wind turbine to be installed in the city, with excess power returned to the grid. More about that tomorrow.

  1. It's quite stylish compared to some I've seen. Somewhat controversial here.

  2. Beautiful skies as always and I do love the wind turbine and they do look better than most of ours. But they aren't controversial in the northwest, thankfully! Hope you have a great weekend, Jim!

  5. Tito Eric, quite true. I actually thought it was a piece of art initially, until I found out it had a purpose.

  10. The turbine looks very elegant. So different from the turbines in our country. Against the beautiful Sydney sky it is a real piece of art.

  11. Great shot of that turbine, Jim. It's a very special one, we have a lot of windturbines in the Netherlands, but I've never seen such a great design.
