So I was just on my back porch and I now have a new light show I will see nightly.

There are a string of at least a dozen wind power generators on a ridge about 10 miles away. I had just noticed them with the binoculars the last week or 2, but now they must be operational and in-sync with their aircraft height warning lights.

A very cool display, I like what it represents.
