Leaning In and Leaning On

Daily Note
Every day, a photograph, a poem. Back in 2018 on a return trip from family, we took a side rood east of Ellensburg running roughly with Interstate 90. We discovered the Wild Horse Wind and Solar Facility, which powers most of Kittitas County in Washington State.
The area was windy– and it should be stated that there is a range of wind speed to which the turbines operate- between 9 and 56 mph [Wikipedia]. And that area works perfectly.

Take a look at the Center’s Flickr Album:
The tour is fantastic, about an hour long, and the visitor’s center is filled with videos, displays, infographics, and souvenirs. Well worth the stop; it’s open from April to October 31st. [Directions] See the website for liability form and tour checklist.

Leaning In and Leaning On
It can push back, the wind-
It whirls around and slaps
your hair into your eye;
You know that feeling—
that push while walking
so you must lean in.It pushes on, the wind-
Sheri Edwards
turning turbines to power
to ease our lives- to see,
to warm, to cool, to cook
that push of captured power
that we must lean on.
