Wind Turbine
Good morning,
Have you ever wondered how tall the offshore turbines are?
Well the one in the video above, is a turbine on a UK wind farm.
These have a maximum height of up to 204m to the tip of the blade with a blade diameter of 164m.
Thanks

Good Morning,
Today I’d like to share some images of a substation that I have recently visited.
This is located in the Netherlands side of the North Sea.
I hope that you enjoyed this post,
Have a good week.
Thanks,

Good morning,
Today id like to share a short video of how we access an offshore substation on a windfarm.
After a 1.5hrs CTV (crew transfer vessel) ride, it is a large ladder climb on to the platform.
Where as this may not be for everyone, I will take this, over being stuck in traffic on the M25 every single time!
Good morning, Id like to share some black and white images.
Black and white (monochrome) is a genre that i rarely shoot, but have been really enjoying it recently.
I hope that you like the following.
Good morning, here are some images taken whilst sailing through a Scottish windfarm.
Good morning, here are some images of turbines on a north sea windfarm in low light.
Hello, here are some images of the fog slowly creeping in, over the windfarm.
The fog approaches like a soft whisper, gradually swallowing the horizon. The wind turbines, once clear and imposing, begin to fade into the mist, their outlines becoming ghostly silhouettes
The Edda Brint, SOV (service operations vessel) adjacent to our substation.
Housing 60 persons, the 60 PAX will be made up with the ships crew and technicians who are servicing the turbines.
The Wind Cat CTV (crew transfer vessel) This vessel is our daily transport to and from shore.
As the fog thickens, the turbines seem to float in mid-air, their blades slicing through the mist with a gentle, rhythmic motion. This ethereal scene creates a stark contrast between the solid structures and the ephemeral fog.
Have you captured the beauty of fog in your photography? Share your images and comments over on Instagram @lee_ramsden

Hello,
Today I’d like to share a couple of images of an OSP (offshore substation platform)
I always enjoy, how I can take many photos of the same subject, and with the differing skies and ever-changing weather can change the image.
Happy Monday.
A couple of images from an offshore work site.
Recently i spent a week rebuilding a wind turbine. Interesting work scope seeing the guts of these great machines that line our landscapes.
Apologies for only having iPhone images.
