No, They're Not Missles

They are the turbine blades for a wind farm in Canada.

Due to the size of these things, they were not allowed to cross the Blue Water Bridge over to Canada over the weekend. So, the haulers parked at whatever rest stop in the area that they could find.

Just to give you an idea on the size of these things, the trailers are so long that a vehicle must follow the semi pulling the load and control the steering of the rear wheels.

The sun peaked out on Sunday for a couple hours and the play of the light against these fiberglass monstrosities was pretty impressive.

I hope I did it justice...
