Why are lighthouses beautiful?
Many people view lighthouses as aesthetically beautiful, worthy of postcards, calendars, and art exhibitions. Perhaps some of this this beauty is because of their historical context of beacons of safety...and of course because of their elegant construction and design, in many cases.
Are not wind turbines beacons of a clean energy future, of safety through a reduction in pollution? Can they not be constructed elegantly?
I wonder if lighthouses were considered beautiful when they were first constructed? I do not know...but I believe that when we can recognize the factors which make these monstrous, light-emitting towers pleasing to the human eye then we may be able to apply these same principles to both the design as well as the public perception of wind turbines.
