I can't help but stop and watch the turbines turn - it is something akin to watching waves hit the shore. I get a bit hypnotized.

Don't see many cons except bird migration and scenery. I don't think they are that bad to look at. Not any worse than electrical wires and transformers. I'm kinda fascinated with them too!

We travel to New Mexico by car quite often and we always stop to look and take photos. There is something awe inspiring about them. I like your rain lily analogy too, Linda.
