Vineyard Wind Turbine tower construction site
Good Morning all Have a great day
Today I will share a few shots of the Vineyard Wind Wind Turbine tower construction site here in New Bedford
and let me preface the post that when I have shared photos of the site on Farcebook to a local group it has generated a lot of shall I say heated debate over the pros and cons of Wind Turbines being installed in the ocean, I have my own opinion base don the research I have done but i will not share it here, and would appreciate if anyone who visits this post refrains from trying to lecture or educate other visitors on their opinion of them,
Starting with this shot from back in March just as the site was being set up just the cranes at this stage, I had no idea what they were for at this stage I just have a thing with cranes and took this shot

This next shot is a couple of months later of the blades of the wind turbines, and they are huge to get an idea of the size look in front of the grey container in the center bottom of the shot and you will see three of the workers in yellow safety vests
