Some things are so quiet everything else seems loud by comparison.
The crunch of the grass underfoot...
The sound of a bird singing in the distance...
Everyone says wind powered electric generators are noisy. But this one was so quiet, if I closed my eyes I wouldn't have known it was there. Could it be that people who say wind-powered electricity generation is noisy don't know where to shop for windmills?
This one was quieter than footsteps on the lawn. What's more, it supplies all the electricity the resort complex that built it can use, and the fees from selling the leftover electricity will pay for the windmill by its 15th birthday.
Okinawa Looks Like This
Peaceful: a beautiful place for a walk
自己紹介
- Chura
- Born and raised in the USA (NJ), I’ve spent most of my adult life in Japan. One of my favorite places in Japan is Okinawa. To me, Okinawa is a land of stories and an island of music, magic and mystery. The music is shima-uta, songs sung to the rhythm of a three-stringed lute called a sanshin. The magic is in the colors of land, sea and sky. The mystery? Mystery begins where the line between legend and verifiable human memories begins to blur. I am a member of the Archaeological Institute of America, chapter chief of a sanshin study society, and a founding member of the Marine Culture Research Association of Okinawa.
