Snow and Light
The roof is largely covered by snow, so that the illumination doesn't appear as bright as when we first installed it in early December. This factor in combination with the light pollution surrounding the building means that it's now much more difficult to see it from a distance. However, if you drive into the parking lot you can get out to walk around the building for a good look. I've been lucky enough to be able to stand inside. The snow completely changes the illumination in the interior. The roof has colour now, whereas before the snow, it appeared black. I took this film inside the snow-covered Glasshouses with my mobile phone. You can see the difference between it and Austin's photo before the snow (below).
Despite the snow and cold weather, I've managed to negotiate slippery roads and wintry showers in order to get to the illumination at the Glasshouses each of the last five days. I've been checking the battery levels in the turbines while Keith is away and charging them with the generators nearly every day because there's hardly been any wind.
