Driving home from Manchester, and the Lacrosse World Cup

Driving home from Manchester, and the Lacrosse World Cup, originally uploaded by Jebaloo.
Ain’t it beautiful (in a motorway type of way). We had a great day of
training at Timperley lacrosse club in Manchester. The training group
was made up of the final 18 players who have been picked for the World
Cup team. Chuffed to bits to have made it after all this training over
the last 18 months. Basically, between now and June, I will be
training 6 out of every 7 days, and most of my weekends will be 9 till
5 lacrosse… So it’s quite a sizeable task in hand!
Absolutely up for it though! Bring on the World Cup!

Not as beautiful as wind turbines? It is a fairly common view from a motorway though. Why don’t we put the wind turbines adjacent to motorways. How can anyone complain about noise or visual impact then?

I would tend to agree. I know this country has a tendency towards nimbyism, and I’m not one to speak because no one has ever offered to build a wind turbine in my back garden… but to be honest, I rather think that wind turbines are beautiful. Whenever I drive past them on the motorway I always admire them. Perhaps it’s the architect in me, or something about the design of them being so sleek and minimalist.
