Pakri Peninsula is a nice nature area located in North Estonia, near Paldiski 40 km from Tallinn.
It was a super windy day, not cold, but the wind was a bit chilly.
The waves were smashing against the cliff.
I had been here near the lighthouse a few times, but never gone further to discover the nature area.
This time let's look more around.
Green moss.
According to wikipedia, this Pakri Wind farm was built in 2004 with 8 generators. Then these could produce 18,4 MW of energy.
But now it seems it has been upgraded to a lot more units.
The blades are 90m in diameter and the height of the towers is 80m. Each wind generator weighs 275 tons. This is unbelievably big number.
These are massive when you stand under these and look up. The blades cut through air like knives thorugh butter, and you can hear this low frequency airplane like noise a bit, that gets very disturbing when you stay long there.
They only look cool from far away. Close they get scary.
The noise and the fast spinning blades are the worst part of this type of electricity generation imo.
These trees are trying to grow on a super unstable ground, with strong wind all year around.
Some sort of shed.
Well, is this some sort of art exhibition? Potatoes and apples and rotten somethings? Lets move on.
The red Pakri lighthouse itself.
And almost sunset, time to end this day here at 4pm. Thank you for your time 🙂

I want to walk down there and see the cliff from another angle. This of course requires a low sea level. Otherwise, it's underwater.
Cool, yeah, the water level was a bit on the high side I think.
