    Those things are so alluring and beautiful from afar distance.
    One of the greatest joys is when you finally reach the California state line, all you start seeing are the hundreds and hundreds of wind turbines rotating every every where. They are so beautiful. Like I said , from afar that is. For it freaks me out to get really close to them and see actually just how really huge enormous they are. To see the size of man standing next to them or on top on the blades is truly mind boggling .

    The second video was neither a mishap or a fail. They were tearing it down. You can see the cables from the bulldozer to the left and see that the foundation had been dug up. Take the first or the last video from the "ones that didn't quite make it" and you'll be golden, and edit that long one that it is on fire down to like 2-3min. That was hella boring.
