Billboards
This topic and its images grew out of Tourism & Local Identity. See that topic for more images. The title image here and many of those below were taken by Martin Pasqualetti, professor emeritus of Geography from Arizona State University. Mike and I have been discussing this subject of cultural icons of wind turbines for nearly three decades.
