While out in the desert for the holiday, I made a early morning drive to see San Jacinto covered by recent snow. I stopped at my favorite promontory to get a few shots of the wind turbines (wind mills). The wind was really howling through the San Gorgonio Pass this morning, but only about 20% of the turbines were spinning when I was there. Here is an assortment of wind turbines from the San Gorgonio Pass Wind Farm, with Mount San Gorgonio covered in snow in the distance.
