Thanks!

There is actually no real danger involved. Savety standards are pretty high and only a fool who doesn't 'play by the rules' and use his safety gear can fall down.

Nice photos Marc... I liked this one a lot... It reminds me how silent and peaceful, yet scary these monsters are...

Thank you!

Yeah these guy's are quite big. Wind turbines are basically a mix of remote controlled heavy industrie components (18 ton gearbox, 10 ton generator, ect) and some aeronautics (90m/55 ton rotor with 43m/10 ton rotor blades) mounted on a pole.
