We’re in Nebraska, visiting my brother and his family for the holiday.
If you’ve ever driven from Chicago to Nebraska, you understand that it’s not perhaps the most exciting drive.
Having done it hundreds of times, however, I dearly love it because the road brings me home. It’s so good to drive and think for 500 miles.
Near Adair, Iowa, which is between Des Moines and Omaha, we found something really exciting that has developed just in the past couple of years — windfarms. Here’s a peek. Although this video is taken from a different area, it was the one that conveyed the experience: Iowa wind farm near arcadia, IA
These beautiful structures are so lovely to watch — like seeing beautiful sculptures or performance art. I wish there was some sort of “pull-over” where you could stop and watch (and find out more about what’s happening).
My oldest said it looks like someone doing cartwheels. My youngest asked if it was a circus. And middle girl was asleep.
Check out this video I found, although it’s hard to convey the experience of looking out and seeing the horizon moving and swaying in a kind of beautiful dance.
Enjoy. Talk to you soon.
Oh, yeah, and I’m required by Nebraska law (and by my family) to say this: Go Huskers.
Back again? That's awesome. Thanks for stopping by!
