North Lincs wind turbine dominated landscape The latest addition seems to be this 100ft turbine in the foreground, at a Farm marked "Common Farm" on the map, but the application states "Butterwick Grange Farm, West Butterwick".
Behind it is the turbine by the M180 bridge (<a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3448982">SE8307 : New wind turbine, near the M180 bridge</a>), and behind that the windfarm next to Normanby Hall Country Park (<a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3448859">SE8813 : Scunthorpe north: aerial 2013</a>).
Just off shot to the right are turbines at two more locations just south of Scunthorpe, and to the left a big windfarm near Goole.
