Welcome to the 'I Just Wanna Tek Gud Photos' Blog

At least once a month we get out as a group on an organised outing of some description, and being a group of people who enjoy taking photos we usually come home with a very interesting and generally appealing selection of photos.  This blog is a record of where we have been and the photos we took at the time.

Erection of the Penny Hill Wind Farm

Throughout late 2012 and into the early part of 2013 I drove past a building site in a remote field near Thurcroft, Rotherham every day and wondered to myself what they were doing so far out in the middle of nowhere.  Suddenly in February 2013 it became clear, here are some photos I took between Feb and April 2013 whilst they erected the new Penny Hill wind farm, a landmark that will stand menacingly above us for the next quarter of a century.
