Dr. Slade with his old workhorse Nikon (film!)
in the midst of 195 Vestas wind turbines.
Dr. Slade is wearing a harness with a two-meter chain (wrapped in yellow fabric) which is attached to the steel roof of the nacelle. That way, anyone who stumbles over the edge merely dangles, rather than plummets, and so eventually can be somehow rescued.
To get back to our theme: Engineers and Architects
Great challenges await you, and unprecedented opportunities,
As climate change, like an angry bear, slashes away with enormous claws all that we thought was normal.
We shall need Engineers, to tap the wind, to tap the sun, to tap the roving sea,
And Architects, to design better homes, better schools, and better cities, where Mother Nature is a part of the family.
Sam and Meg, Meg and Sam,
as the sun shines upon all of the Earth,
and as the wind blows over all of the Earth,
reach out, please, to the peoples of the Earth . . .
as you design and build an entirely new chapter in the book of human progress.
The sun, that blesses me with richest earthly finery,
Shines no warmer than my hopes upon thee.
