Blots on the landscape

MAYBE it’s because they live in suburbs that the more vociferous proponents of wind power are unaware of the visual and aural blight these enormous shiny propellers are creating on some of our most beautiful mountains.

As a photographer of the glorious uplands of Leitrim, Roscommon and the north-west, I know only too well how these monstrosities deface the landscape. These so-called wind farms are much more effective offshore.
