Wind turbine nacelle and tower from below, Wind Garden Wind Farm

Looking up at a Vestas turbine at Wind Garden Wind Farm near Makhanda, Eastern Cape, the nacelle and three blades framed against a deep blue winter sky with a blade shadow cast down the tower. Photographed on 13 July 2026 from the R350 between Makhanda and Bedford (Nyarha) during construction. The 94.5 MW project will run 21 turbines on 112 m towers and is expected to generate around 287 GWh a year for commercial and industrial buyers.
