A Blue Sheep A sheep with its owner's marking of blue - belonging to one of the Graziers of Mynydd Llanllwni common. In the background, some of the ten giant wind turbines near Gwyddgrug, called the Alltwalis wind farm [110 m high]. Although there was a brisk breeze that day, the turbine blades were standing still; not an unusual occurrence. Mynydd Llanllni is the area where another wind farm company want to put 21 more turbines at 127m high.
