Perhaps some people see beauty where others do not. The picture of the wind tower rising above the wildflowers (Feb. 11) into the blue sky, with moisture from the Earth rising in thin white clouds, is beautiful to my eyes.

There is a place in Maine, I believe near the coast that I used to drive by often, where there were three windmills like the one in the picture, and, to me, they were things of beauty in that field, even without the accompanying wildflowers as in the picture.

Certainly windpower is less expensive than oil power to create electricity. And windmills do not put any hazardous materials into the atmosphere.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
