Windmills of My Mind by phil_howcroft

Windmills of My Mind

Spiining in the afternoon breeze.

Installed by the farmer

I think they are a thing of beauty, others may differ

Awesome shot

Good title. I've always liked the sleek look of these modern windmills, although they certainly don't have the charm of the traditional structures.

I love the windmill and I particularly love the checkered pattern of the fields

Love the colours of the fields and the sky, Phil. Not so much the windmill. To me they look alien to the surroundings.

@sangwann @swilde @allie912 @kerristephens thanks everyone for your kind words. I feel the fields are a little under exposed due to the large amount of sky in the frame.

I was attracted to the soft light rays, lovely rural landscape.

Lots of farmers are going down this route though our friends have just had theirs turned down...too much opposition!
We were once approached by a large wind turbine company to erect windmills along the side of the River Wyre...we turned them down...wouldn't have been able to handle the flak from the neighbours!
Personally I hate them......don't mind on a hill somewhere all together but near houses no thanks. Do they work too ...I have my doubts for large populated areas. Shut up Pat ......a dodgy subject!

Ps never spoke about your photo......your fields are well cultivated....lots of tractor work done! Great shot Phil.

I agree Phil, I think they look quite magnificent, although I wouldn't want one in my backyard! This is lovely with the suns rays shining through the clouds.
