MYSTERY PHOTO REVEALED


Many of you guessed and wrote comments on the blog about this photo. Some of the guesses were places near Infantes that have wind turbines (or windmills) and open fields. We had some snow in January, too, so there are lots of possibilities. Thanks for sending your ideas.

However, Will took this photo after he left Infantes in January, while he was driving across the United States on his way to his new home in Eugene, Oregon. The photo was taken between Council Bluffs and Iowa City, Iowa. Will thought that the landscape there looked similar to Castile-La Mancha. What do you think?

Both Iowa and Castile-La Mancha are agricultural and have high plains or plateaus that are good for capturing wind energy. Remember that before vacation, we talked about the 50 (nifty) United States? Can you find Iowa on the map?
