My fave is the windmills that fly in long kite-enabled swoops in the upper currents of the atmosphere.

Despite his self-satisfied literary pretensions, Charles cannot not resist not using double negatives. not.

Brilliant, Charles!

Can you nail a savior to it?

The windmills invoke minarets in my mind.

I've always thought offshore drills look deeply sexual.

@2, nor could shakespeare.

i demand proper aesthetic theory, a discussion of the religious, natural, and technological sublime (all embodied in wind turbine photo, i'd say), and i want to read about connections between it and the old industrial economy/materiality/heaviness and the post-industrial economy/ephemerality/lightness. these generalizations and links to photos (which are great, by the way) don't suffice!

Oh, come on, you love improper aesthetic theory, in all it's glorious rust-embossed natural beauty.

I'm worried: if one of these wind turbines collapses into the waters off Martha's Vineyard, does this mean their shores will be overwhelmed by a spillage of wind?

Well observed. One could also see the Trinity, the Wheel of Life, or any type of triskele.

Bravo Charles/@7. An even-measured defense to be sure. Though I'm not sure you come off as well as you think with that comparison.

ah! they are super gothic. When i was in prague they were lasering the facade of a huge monster gothic church, removing the last 400 years of dark wood/coal/oil smoke and grime that must be very similar to the grime on the drillers. Thing is, everyone hated what it looked like clean, the dirt was what told it's story.

Please wait...
