Wind machines were once used on cold nights to stir the air in the orange groves. This kept the fruit from freezing. It's been a long time since I've seen one of these running.
This one's in Redlands, California. N.E. of the corner of Opal and Citrus.
I used a kite to fly the camera.

I found this at a traditional cafe' on Wakamiya Ooji Street in Kamakura. This object is called "fuurin" which means wind bell. It's said that the sound of fuurin gives cooling feeling to the Japanese people.
I loved this one, though a fellow punter wasn't so keen. The artist looked at the hands of the locals and made the wind chimes in the same kind of shape and patterns as the lines and wrinkles on the palms of their hands.
It was held in an old disused house, which made it more poignant.

If the memories of earthquakes are the fissures and faultlines in the land, the fissures on our palms are the wrinkles that mark our lives. The metal branches molded after the villagers palm lines become windchimes ringing the sound of each family
A wind farm or wind park is a group of wind turbines in the same location used to produce energy. A large wind farm may consist of several hundred individual wind turbines and cover an extended area of hundreds of square miles, but the land between the turbines may be used for agricultural or other purposes. A wind farm can also be located offshore.
This awesome artificial Cardinal (at least, I believe it's a Cardinal!) was hanging from a tree just over the dividing fence between our lot and our neighbor's lot at the Sheep River Campground.
This thing was really cool; the wire hanging down from underneath it is connected to weighted wind chimes, so that, as the wind blows, this bird spins around and flaps its wings and beautiful music is also created from the chimes!
The water of the Sheep River can be seen in the background.
The weakest part of my photographic game so far is flying birds. I don't have a fast enough lens in my bag to get most types, but today I got some help.
Today was, as Winnie the Pooh might have said, 'a very blustery day'. That meant the seagulls in Duluth's Canal Park could fly into the wind and present much more of a stationary target than usual.
Hence, this. :)
