Tilting at Windmills

Don Quixote: Dost not see? A monstrous giant of infamous repute whom I intend to encounter.
Sancho Panza: It's a windmill.
Don Quixote: A giant. Canst thou not see the great arms whirling at his back?
Sancho Panza: A giant?
Don Quixote: Exactly.

Terrific capture. Don't you just love how magnificent these are? Where was this?

[Roberta Clark Chalmers]

Lovely in the fog!

I think the windmills are an excellent idea. My town is putting one or 2 up and there is a group of people protesting it. Don't they understand that the windmills provide power and if they were bad and a health hazard there wouldn't be windmill farms??

Beautifully captured

@grammyn these are in Leamington, Ontario, it was a rainy foggy day and the windmills were almost invisible in the fog

@beba8162 tks Roberta

@chasingwishes there is a plan to construct a number of windmills in our area but there is considerable opposition. Real Estate values plummet near them and there is a lot of concern about the noise levels affecting people's health and well being.

where are these J

@jayberg I asked because I saw probably hundreds of them in Minnesota last year as I was traveling west. I wonder if these are in that same general area?

@rickspicks Leamington' Ontario...Canada

[Don Ross]

I've visited many wind farms and love them all. They give me hope that there are some signs of intelligent life on earth, and perhaps a future for human civilization.

Such simple graceful lines

@jayberg Well since I've never been close to one, I can't say anything about the noise level, but I gotta agree with @ecodon and add that as people, we need to move forward and take advantage of natural resources.. I wonder what these do in a tornado.
