That's an extreme telephoto shot, I don't think it's representative of what you'd see when you look at the landscape as a human. Unless it's from a very specific spot.

That picture doesn't do it justice. Driving through Palm Springs is pretty cool. There are a LOT of windmills.

I would say its the black ones that make it look ugly? And the lack of uniformity?

I did a google image search for that location and the other images didn't seem so bad (to me).

Is the uglyness an inherent feature of the scale. Or a feature of poor design?

The black ones are actually under a cloud. In Iowa, we have quite a few wind farms. I think for most people they are a source of pride. Maybe I just haven't met the grumps.

Might be shadow rather than cloud?

Some appear to have white nacelles and black towers.
