Counting down the last few days of the theme competition. Only 4 photos to go. Here’s one of them.
Growing awareness of environmental problems associated with fossil fuel usage, coupled with fears of a dwindling oil supply, had led to a massive increase in the use of alternative, renewable energy sources. As of 2007, wind energy capacity globally was 94.1 gigawatts, representing 1% of total global energy use, a fivefold increase on 2000 figures. Here in Taiwan, the government has set a target of 10% of the energy supply being derived from renewable sources by 2010, wind power is forecast to be 80% of that (8% of total usage). Currently, Taiwan is 23rd globally in windpower capacity with 282 megawatts, making it the third ranked country in Asia, surpassed only by India and China, a phenomenal achievement when relative population is considered.

Craig Ferguson Images | Cultural Photography. One of the key aspects of life that we humans identify with is culture. We label people, places and events according to our ideas of what they are, ranging from the broader scale defined by tradition and place down to the small scale subcultures and tribes. Craig Ferguson Images is consistantly creating new visions in the field of cultural photography. From traditional festives and customs to modern, urban subcultures, Craig Ferguson Images is in touch with the changing world. From our base in Taipei, Taiwan we are perfectly positioned at the crossroads of the ancient and the modern.
