Windmill Wednesday: Windmill Junkies Unite…..
“Sneaky Pete” the wind engine is the smaller of 2 “brother” windmills of the “Pete” family on our ranch. Big Brother is “Re Pete” who lives 3 miles into the backcountry. Both are up in the rolling ridgeline country of “Wyotana”. Sneaky has been running for 20 years with a few rebuilds. He is 25 feet tall and pumps air for a ponds benefit. “Re Pete” is an antique still functional Aermotor Windmill way in the back country. Either would have provided served as a filter here. The symmetry stroked my OCD lol.
During the recent 2020 brown / fire smoke season, sunrises / sunsets are unusually interesting. There are a LOT of particulates in the air. The Deep Crimsons and yellow sphere of the sol are the only colors in the otherwise color bereft landscape. The feeling on this last of the few remaining warm nights was of an original Twilight zone episode I saw as a child. It scared the heck out of me. A fog moved into a community, next thing they knew they had been transported to an alien world. Scary stuff to an adolescent with 3 channels on the B+W Tube TV with aluminum foil on the Rabbit Ears. Some of you might have to reach back early on to remember all that.
Stark lighting, like being under a partial eclipse. It’s an odd look with everything terrestrial cast in an odd red glow. I compare it to a gel filter over a stage light. Just a really big light lol.
As I type this narrative on the 7th of September 2020, a weather system is moving through with mostly drizzle so far. It’s a classic fall weather system though and that is a good thing. We need moist days for sure to make it to the snows. Snow in the high country. I’m not draining the water out of my fire truck yet to winterize it. I don’t keep it in a heated building as it is bigger than you can image. Winterizing is a balancing act as too late, you freeze something. Too early and you don’t have water immediately handy when you need to put out a grass fire for instance.
Location: Bliss Dinosaur Ranch, Wyoming / Montana borderlands (Wyotana)

This is Pearl (of Pearl and the Puppets - a band being tipped for great things) who I photographed at a gig at Sneaky Pete's in Edinburgh this evening. Having now heard them perform, I can understand why they're getting such positive reviews...they were really good to listen to...and lots of fun.
It's always nice to attend a gig in a more intimate venue where you can actually chat to the musicians after their set.
The lighting levels were pretty low, which is where my shiny new Canon EOS 5D Mark II came in rather handy. This shot was taken at ISO 12,800 and I've used no noise reduction software or techniques. All this...and I still have ISO 25,600 in reserve...although I struggle to imagine how low the light levels would have to be for that. :-)

The Blastolene Brothers' "Sneaky Pete" in Kingman, summer 2007.
This uses the same engine as Jay Leno's Blastolene special. It is very big, and very loud.
