Photographs of Canunda and Lake Bonney wind farms:
Wind in the Bush

Photography by Dave Clarke. More of my wind turbine photos are on Flickr

Lake Bonney and Canunda wind farms adjoin each other along a ridge near Millicent in South Eastern South Australia.
In these photographs I have not discriminated between the two wind farms - it is not obvious where one finishes and the other starts.

The images on this page have been compressed for faster loading - this may lead to some noticeable loss of quality in some images

The light from the sun as it was about to rise behind the grotesque shrub on the rise provides a counterpoint to the turbine

Nice pastel shades of the sunrise now in the sky
Canunda wind turbine There were 69 turbines in these two wind farms - stretching along the top of a linear sand ridge - when these photos were taken.

This photo looks toward the southeast at sunrise.

Canunda wind turbine There was a fire in the nacelle of this tower when it was being built. The damaged parts have been removed and the tower-stump is awaiting a new top section.

I like the gloomy feel of the clouds. There is even something brooding about the tower-stump itself...
