mid mod

This is what alternative energy looks like in Palm Springs. The wind farm is one of the first things you see as you drive across the hills from L.A. Row upon row of collossus—colossi?. But you would think that there would be acres of solar panels as well where the skies are not cloudy all day and the roofs are flat as is so appropriate for mid-century modern desert architecture. Mid century modern, by the way, means 1950s brightly colored molded plastic (like those ahem pink chairs in my living room so much disparaged by some of the fans), a lot of futuristic parabolas and long, low, glass- curtained buildings. More pix anon.
