The photos of ‘Shadows’ on the opposite page are images taken by me and other artists of the different types of shadows you can get. With the images that I found on the Internet‚ the shadows range from those that are created by people to those created by objects.

I like this one because it’s simple but effective and one that you can recreate easily yourself. One of my other favourites is

Turbines: A Wind-Wind Solution The majority of energy comes from nonrenewable fossil fuels such as coal‚ natural gas‚ and oil. Americans depend on this energy in almost every way imaginable; from cooking to cleaning‚ from working to traveling‚ to heating and cooling.

But wind is a fact of life in the mountains‚ as much a part of the weather as snow itself‚ and those who grumble about it or say it does nothing but blow overlook the fact that the wind gives as much as it takes.
