I am more inclined toward the first one. I'd give you a good reason but the cow I was milking kicked me in the head and I'm not thinking clearly. Maybe I'm not leading a charmed life.
Was the whole turbine field cleared of trees, or was it just this little area?
The second looks SE to the main bulk of Black Law wind Farm which is about 54 turbines (though the nearest turbines are part of the phase 1 extension). The first image is NE towards the phase 1 extension of 23 turbines for which 560 hectares of forestry were cleared (essentially from where I'm standing to the furthest turbine ).
But being fair and because I presented a slightly biased view, I would add that it was a Forestry Commission plantation, trees that were planted to be harvested. Though the Forestry Commission farm by clearing smaller areas and re-planting.
Wind turbines are bird killers but for the most part, once erected most are pretty much maintenance free. I know a lot of folks who use them on cabins out in the boondocks in conjunction with Solar panels because there's no other way to get electricity. Where they are put up in the US, they get lots of raptors though like any animal, they learn to avoid those huge propellers.
Very nice Tim, I also like the juxtaposition and how you've kept just a bit of movement in the turbine blades.
