Bit chilly today but I got out for a decent run. Found a cool route I didn't know about

Traffic not a problem then. Looks very quiet.

That's what I like about it. It avoids a popular, busy route to get to Glenshee. Which is partly boring straight roads or towns.
I think I saw 2 cars on the whole road and the scenery is 10 times better

Wonderful! So do wind turbines enhance the landscape or distract?

I quite like them as long as they're not near my house

They should paint them like flowers, green stems with yellow blades

. That would look surreal.

We have a big windfarm up the road, made up of 27 3.5MW turbines which are 170m tall. You cannot hear them unless within half a mile and even walking among them the noise is a swoosh sound that is not too loud. I find them OK.

That confirms what I thought. They don't really spin fast enough to generate that much noise. A busy road probably generates more.
