20120226_IMG_1406.jpg England's tallest tree, a Grand Fir (Abies grandis), which was confirmed as the champion by the Tree Register last week. It is a towering 57.8 metres or 190 feet. It was planted around 1860 as part of an arboretum at the Wansfell Holme Country Estate (which can bee seen in the background), now known as Skelghyll woods in Ambleside, in the Lake District. This record breaking English tree is higher than Nelsons Column and taller than a dozen double decker buses stacked on top of each other.

IMG_1447_towering.jpg Dong Energy are building the Walney offshore wind farm, off the Cumbrian coast, UK. When finished the farm will consist of 102, 3.6 MW turbines, giving a total capacity of the Walney project of 367.2 MW, enough to power 320,000 homes. The rotor diameter of the turbines is 107m for Walney 1 and 120 m for Walney 2. The turbines are shipped into the UK and stored at Mostyn port in North Wales. From here they are picked up by a jack up barge, that sails out to the construction site to build the turbines. This shot shows a nacelle being lifted onto the jack up barge.
