Check out this Greenpeace blog post about photographer Chu Weimin’s photo exhibition. The photographs are breathtaking, illustrating China’s massive shift to green energy through a beautiful, painterly visual style.

Photographer Chu Weimin has spent the past three years documenting China’s clean energy transition using drones. His most striking images resemble Chinese traditional Shanshui ink paintings — mountains and clouds now joined by rows of turbines. In these surreal, poetic landscapes, wind farms rise from mountains like brushstrokes and an ancient temple stands quietly against a backdrop of renewable infrastructure.
