I was driving back from a well needed vacation in Prince Edward Island when I spotted a beautiful field of wind turbines. This sparked an instant emotion that I have when I come across wind turbines. I honestly don’t know too much about them and how they work, except of course that they generate electricity from a renewable resource, but there is something more to them for me. Their fluid timeless design, looks like something from another planet or our peaceful attempt to communicate to beings far from earth. I’ve seen white ones, that stand tall against beautiful blue backdrops or ‘black’ shadowed figured that cut out the shades in the sunset. Not only is the design captivating, but it is their it is the motion of these turbines that calms me. Super smooth, giant rotating blades that cut through the air. It is just not something you see everyday. There is a meditative quality to them.  I’m hoping that in the future each home that is build on this earth will require a home wind turbine or ‘home-blade’ attached to them. I think it would add beauty to our homes as well as be a symbol of an idea we all agree on.

Wind turbines hit the three important aspects of what we try to create each day: pleasing design; aesthetics of movement and optimum functionality.
