The famous windmills of the San Gorgonio Pass Wind Farm, in Riverside County, were begun in the 1980s. This is one of three major groups in California. The scene when one drives in from the west on Interstate 10 is a real "landmark" and welcomes visitors. Many people love their look, though others do not!
This area, in the Coachella valley, is one of the windiest places in Southern California. The 4,000 plus windmills supply enough power to supply Palm Springs and the whole Coachella Valley. Each windmill is 80-160' tall. Their total output is 615 MW of power. Info from Wikipedia and my own observations!
These pictures were shot while driving on the Interstate.

I have been taking pictures since I was young. I love the outdoors and enjoy taking landscape and botanical photos. With my lifelong interest in and study of interior design and architecture, I greatly enjoy taking pictures of buildings, interiors, and art. I have pursued my love of art and creation by making collages with many different themes. I am also interested in the Aboriginal arts of Australia, Pointillism, Dot Art, and watercolors. I have included some of my work in various Collections. I am a retired teacher, play golf, travel, camp, make jewelry, read, paint, make collages, and sew. Thank you for viewing my galleries.
