Lonesome??? … Not really, just beyond the ridge there were hundreds more. I selected to isolate this single wind turbine to portray the landscape the way I remember it back 13 years ago when I moved from the Northwest to the East Coast. Wind turbines now are abundant on the desolate Washington hills above the Columbia River gorge. I roamed on these lonesome hills as a young boy scout so many years ago. It gives me a sad feeling to see the once beautiful open hill country covered with industrial mechanical giants.
