We humans are not good at mathematics; our brains did not evolve to understand "123 metres".
Our brains did evolve to deal with distances in the horizontal sense of where we live (on the African savannah).
To my mind, this is the best picture (I have seen) to give me a real idea, in my head, of how big a wind turbine can be.
And this is only the radius, so to speak.
Cheers
Chris
Just how big are these turbines?

We live on an Interstate highway. We travel it quite often and sometimes see as many as 6 of these blade deliveries traveling in a convoy.

I am not a great fan of wind turbines

I’ll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there’s evidence of any thinking going on inside it
