By Throckrington Moor

Thirteen ladies dancing By Throckrington Moor’ Each movement stately Each movement sure. Stark against the sky Each single girl, Feet firmly planted, Arms all a whirl, Moves to the wind In a slow rhythmic way, Dancing consistently Whether night or day. Really only dancing ladies In my minds inner eye, Really just wind turbines Outlined against the sky. Spare and sparse in their design To me things of simple beauty Unceasingly performing Their appointed duty. Just by Throckrington Moor Each one proves it’s worth Providing clean power to Help save our wounded Earth. Each time I pass that moor Those girls are standing there Stark in their beauty In that clear moors air

You amaze me. You are equally talented at telling an enthralling story packed with sentiment or humor, as you are at creating a splendid picture, of beauty and movement so graceful. This one has to be added to my favorites. Thank you Terry.

Thank you Wendy - Throckrington Moor was a bleak and beautiful place - we saw it in September and the Turbines were beautifully outlined. Take care - Terry
