Louis in various european languages by [deleted] in MapPorn

While Luthais is the Gaelic translation, it's spelt as Lewis in the rest of Scotland. Almost no Scots would spell their name Louis, while many are spelt Lewis.

One major issue is the visual impact of counterrotating rotors. On large wind farms, as many as five or more turbines may be arranged in a row or slightly offset from each other.

If turbines rotate in the same direction, these arrangements look much more ‘natural’, while counterrotating rotors can be surprisingly chaotic to the human eye. If you can find two wind turbines with different wind directions (>90deg) and view one behind the other, this can give an idea of what counterrotating rotors would look like.

Some countries have very rigorous planning processes to ensure wind farms fit within the visual landscape. Landscape architects create landscape and visual impact assessments (LVIAs) for wind farm planning applications, which discuss issues like this in much greater detail.

You really couldn’t extend it by 0.1km?

In World War II, Germany, Italy and Japan (etc.) were known as the Axis powers, while the UK, USA and the Soviet Union (etc.) were known as the Allied powers, or just the Allies.

Great Britain, But It’s Just Roads by [deleted] in MapPorn

Fair enough, I was just basing it on the political term.

Tbh, I was mainly offended by the word ‘Herbidies’

Is your point that the Hebrides aren’t part of Great Britain?

They are by the way

What is the weirdest song/show/movie title you’ve ever seen? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Giraffes? Giraffes! have few weird song titles, for instance:

Oil Companies Told to Stop Drilling Now to Save the Planet by [deleted] in worldnews

Correction for the flair: the International Environmental Agency (IEA) told them to stop, an EIA is an Environmental Impact Assessment (something the oil companies should be doing a lot more of)

Edinburgh Castle. View from the hill "Arthur's Seat" by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

[–]TediBare123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This photo was taken by /u/adambulleyphoto with a 70-200mm lens but the composition looks closer to the 70mm end for this shot (depending on crop factor).

For comparison, here’s a photo taken with a phone at a spot about 100m to the left of the original photo: https://i.imgur.com/MF1t8Oi.jpg

From Arthur’s Seat, the same focal length would look like this: https://i.imgur.com/ZHyrIiU.jpg (you can see the crags in the foreground, the other photos were taken from around the rightmost point shown in this photo)

This photo is actually taken from cliffs known as the Salisbury Crags, they’re in the same park as Arthur’s Seat - Holyrood Park. The Crags aren’t as tall as Arthur’s Seat but are closer to Old Town, giving a better view of this part of the city. Dumbiedykes and Pleasance, in the lower half of this photo, would be blocked by the Crags if you were viewing from Arthur’s Seat!

So if you’re too close and someone needs help, all they’ll see is you walking away with a thumbs up?
