Okay, I was driving through these and the blades on either side of my vision kept catching my eye. All I could see were the ones on the left going clockwise and the ones on the right side of I-70 going counterclockwise. Terry didn’t focus on the blades so much as the direction of the wind and that the turbines themselves were faced in the same direction, so my clockwise/counterclockwise comment didn’t make sense to him at first.
While driving (oh-oh) I held out my pointer finger facing away from my face and moved it clockwise, then kept moving it that way while I turned it around to face me…and it was of course going counterclockwise…that’s when I understood what was going on!HA!
We’re both ‘spatial’ so I figured you’d get this, too.
Congrats, cuzzin.

Yes, yes, yes…it’s all about Perspective!!!
Congrats, Chris on figuring this out.

There is a lovely modern elegance to them amid brown rolling hills.
And I’m glad to be posting post-riddle answer. I never would have thought of that! 😀

Even though it was a family reunion based upon a sad event, it really was great seeing you, too…
Can’t comment on your solution until it is revealed, but I bet you and I figured it out in a similar manner since we’re both hands-on types. Of course I was driving during our speed-through of the Wind Turbines, so I had to keep my hands on the wheel. HA!
For the record, you’re the first to solve the riddle. Good job…riddles are funner than couponing, right?!

It’s good to be back, thanks Andy.

You got the right answer, but I’m holding off with revealing your comment to give more time for others to ponder a solution!

LOL – but wrong line of thinking (pun intended)

Although the film Troll Hunter came to mind, where we discover that the Electricity pylons were really a means to keep the Trolls fenced in (although this didn’t work so well in Jurassic Park). I really hope that the answer is along those lines! No pun intended.
Welcome back.
