My latest trip started off with a morning flight into Denver to make a connection.

We were flying north and I was sitting in a left-side window seat. Not long before we got to Denver, I saw a large wind farm – making it roughly south to southeast of Denver. At that time of day, the windmills (technically wind turbines) cast long shadows that you could see from the air.

I don’t know which wind farm this was. Checking with Google, the largest wind farms in that area are the Rush Creek Wind Project and the Limon Wind Energy Center.
