Enid, OK; the land where all the trees lean/point north!
I'm back from my trip to Oklahoma. The day we started the drive back home, I realized I needed to provide some support for my 'weather fact'! I had several choices, but here's a shot showing what I was talking about [removed link to the now castly photobucket.com site]
Obviously, I was facing East. The cause of this growth pattern is the fact that the wind in Oklahoma comes from only two directions: South and/or North. During the growing season, it's from the south 99.5% of the time. OK, that may be an exaggeration, it could be as low as 99.3% of the time!
Further proof of the existence of humongous amounts of wind energy in OK:
I did take a look at your web site. WOW! Again! I started with the garden 'transportation system' but looked at much of the rest of the site. Unfortunately, I don't read/speak/understand more than a few words of German, so I didn't look at all those pages!
I'm sure that's my loss!
Since I came across a very unusual Google Street View contraption, I thought you might be interested in a vehicle I saw at the Oklahoma Railroad Museum.[removed link to the now castly photobucket.com site]
Sorry, I don't have any authorized plans...
