One of the problem with wind farms is that they are quite ugly, but not any more with the introduction of the Giraffic Park Wind Generation Company.
Now instead of a forest of sterile concrete posts you can choose to have a heard of oversized giraffes reaching into the wind with their necks outstretched.

[+]-- MaxwellBuchanan, Jul 26 2010 The illustration is particularly good. Are you a trained giraffic artist, or did you base this on a photogiraffe?-- MaxwellBuchanan, Jul 26 2010 Thanks. Scanned from a scribble in my note-book, then a half hour of photoshop to clean it up a bit. Original based on two of the many examples on google images as reference.-- xenzag, Jul 26 2010 +
Trumpeting elephants? Giant spitting cobras? What about a field of Tupolev Tu-95's on a stick?-- shudderprose, Jul 26 2010 For good measure, and to add a surrealist touch, could we have a few 1940's desk fans, with enormous cast-iron bases, gold lettering, ultra-wide blades and big wire cage? We could then tell tourists that yes, it's windy because of the big fans.-- MaxwellBuchanan, Jul 26 2010 [Max] Those are probably already done by Bruce McCall .... one of favourite artists. [Shudderprose] I already made a model of a BA609 on a pylon some time ago. If you don't know this aircraft see link.-- xenzag, Jul 26 2010 //lready done by Bruce McCall //
Linky?-- MaxwellBuchanan, Jul 26 2010 He has some books out.... very clever, funny and really nice technique.-- xenzag, Jul 27 2010 See first link..... I'm going to gradually restore all of the illustrations I had posted, before Google abandoned Picassa.... grrrrr something's wrong. I need a geek..... fixed (for now)-- xenzag, Feb 16 2018 random, halfbakery
