I don't know how this photo actually rates as pure eye candy but its my current wallpaper and I find it very inspiring.I love the cyclist in the left foreground headed toward the green light and everyone moving towards the huge windmill in the distance. It visually expresses what I feel society is starting to do - finally move towards living life in a more earth friendly fashion. It also makes me proud as a Torontonian that we have a wind generated power source as a prominent part of our skyline.
The windmill is 91 meters high and its been generating electricity for 6 years. Its right by the waterfront in downtown Toronto on the site of our fairgrounds or as Torontonians call it the CNE (Canadian National Exhibition). It provides a huge amount of totally clean power to the city. The sky in the photo looks bleak (it was a bitter cold late afternoon last week when I took the shot) but there is sun peaking through the clouds. So too things may seem bleak on so many fronts these days but I really think we're headed for a brighter and more responsible future.
Have a great weekend everyone!

I really love the wind turbine- especially on windy days. They should put more there, don't you think?
I love your blog, and it's great to see a fellow Torontonian yarn obsessed knitter.
That's really interesting to see the windmill in the middle of the city. We have hundreds of them in the desert between where I live and the Palm Springs area. But, I've never seen one in the city. That's cool. It's a good reminder to all the people that see it everyday to make smarter, greener choices. It is great to see people finally starting to embrace a greener lifestyle.
