Renewable ?

Here comes the winter solstice,
only day to which the Sun vanishes
at the extremity of the wind farm.

Often at this time of the year,
a thick fog bank covers the plain,
spreading the rays of sundown.

as they split the haze into nebulosities ?

Do these artificially generated air flows
only perturb the flying birds and bats
or equally well the flight plan of the aircrafts ?

Associated PhotoGraphism

This photograph showing a group of wind turbines against the backdrop of a winter sunset led to the creation of a photographism entitled « Eoliennes ». Voluntarily minimalist, this photographism highlights the rotational movement of the blades under the sole effect of the wind.

Photographism of wind turbines

This photographism is an integral part of an exhibition entitled « PhotoGraphism : Crossed Views » which was presented to the public on three occasions: in 2019 at the Galerie Dominique C. of the Château d'Auriac sur Vendinelle and at the Château des Ducs de Joyeuse in Couiza, in 2021 at the GET Cultural Center in Revel.
