Hi Johanna - being an enophile, I was looking at your first image; of course, a vineyard - trying to figure out the vine trellising (many options) - looks like some 'double row' arrangement? In the USA, many different ones are used but the single row T-shaped are common (such as Cordon - just saw some real ones on our recent wine tour in NC) - not sure what are the common choices in Austria (not that familiar w/ the wines there although the 'whites' in particular receive some excellent reviews in the Wine Spectator) - also love the wind machines - for those here not knowing the reason - first not to produce electricity, but to create 'air circulation' around the vines especially in the spring when temps might overly chill or freeze the vines/grape grooming - Dave

In my village, the most used option is the Pendlebogen. Afaik it's quite common here, but I can't tell you for sure.

The wind machines really are used to produce electricity. Parndorf Plain is exactly the right location for them. The winds are "directed" to them. My state tries to become energy-self-sufficient, that's our way to achieve this goal. We don't have rivers that we could make use of, but certainly a lot of wind energy. There's rarely a day without wind here.

Hi again - of course, you're right about those wind machines - took a closer look and indeed the ones that usually make electricity - the vineyard machines are closer to the ground and usually just two propellers like the pic below - MUST pay better attention in the future - Dave

No problem!
Maybe the wind turbines on my picture seem small at first sight, because you can't see them as a whole. They're huge!

It's smaller but maybe a little sharper? I'm no genius with a camera

What a wonderful sky Ivy! Nothing at all wrong with that photo and your photography

We have many wind producers here, generally also closer to the ground.

The air produced is generally hot. We call them politicians

Yep - they can produce a lot of HOT AIR from either end -

I guess I have to recommend planting Ironweed if you want to attract large butterflies.

Here's a female Spicebush Swallowtail:

They're a little smaller than the Tigers, and harder to photograph because they rarely stop fluttering when they feed. This one was kinda shy, so I had to crop severely, and unfortunately the loss of resolution shows. iPads are not the best tools for bug photos!
