An idea I had a while ago and finally got working on yesterday. I've always like the idea of colony settlements, little secluded, self-sustaining civilizations. This one, obviously, is set in a hostile desert environment with an emphasis on wind-farms for electricity.

It was a lot of fun trying to think of little details like how the blades would be put away during sandstorms, thinking up a special blade to gather moisture, oxygen, and hydrogen for producing water, and solar panels near the top of the towers. The bridges between the towers at the top have landing pads and antennae.

The underground portion would be where most of the "civilians" would live and work, further away from the more industrial towers, where electricity was generated, machinery was operated, and maintenance workers would live. Various storage levels and two large water tanks would be below that.
