Wind Turbine And A Monkey


Photographed at Waku Waku Grandy Science Land in Utsunomiya city, Tochigi prefecture...

It's sort of a science amusement park for kids who are interested in Sciences. This monkey, driven by electricity that is generated by a wind turbine, fetches water in a metal bucket when it's windy!!!


This is an entry for Sky Watch Friday.

    How interesting that you combined the two in one photo. Is there a hidden message here?

    the blue sky is a wonderful sight.
    I think that monkey must have one strong tail!!
