That sounds fantastic. So, does it tour around or is it on a fixed site? Brighton would be a great place for something like that wonder if something like that could happen here. I’ll have a look into it. Are there any sites showing that project anywhere?

How about painting each blade a different colour and in various shades, then at different speeds it would mix the colours together in different ways. Another one. The Victorians had a somethingascope. it had strange elongated chunks of black on a white background and when spun at the right speed it animated a rabbit running. A whole field of turbines could have bunnies jumping about… lol hey you know what, that’s a fab idea you could do all sorts of pictures or messages, bet you could get Anthony Gormley ( Angel of the North) to come up with some great ones.

Make windmills chic…

Hi Lucy

There are several here in Brighton. A self-build project a few years back had all turf/ sedum roofs. I did have some pix somewhere, I’ll have a look, but no promises as it was awhile back. The houses are off Ditchling Rd, on the right, I dare say they are on a website somewhere. I have been trying to get clients to let me do one for a while now. anything new or different you always need to show them an example first or the just don’t get it. We build small scale ‘earthships’ (tyre houses) too. 2 of my guys are in Cornwall building one right now. i have managed to get 1 client to let me do 1 small retaining wall, so I can use that to get others to do the same.

The Centre for Alternative Technology in Wales has some turf roofs too. they mat have some px thy could let you have.

Hey good luck with that,

Jonathan
