I thought this was going to be a very boring sunset ... but in retrospect, the simplicity of the color transition offsetting the windmill with no clouds or other sky features etc. has made this one of my favorite shots.
This is from the 2007 Holland, MI Tulip festival.
Spotted this old windmill on my way back from Brighton and decided to take few shots. HRD processing.
lovely post mill at six mile bottom rebuilt in 1846 I stopped to photograph this the day earlier but it is down a long private drive with gates and my lens was too short so used my sigma 120 - 300 2.8 which was perfect and the reason that I hang on to all my good lenses even if they do not see much use
I found this stubby old windmill on a road out of Boulia, Western QLD. I was a great sky so I couldn't resist a shot!
Road Trip time again, though somewhat different than our usual version. This one pointed us south through the Indiana windmill fields. I've posted pictures of these windmills before, probably a number of times, and I've probably posted my anti-windmill rant. Much of northern Indiana is windmill now, though oddly I can't find any information concerning what impact that's had on energy production or fossil fuel usage, either among popular sources or scientific journals. If the windmill is truly useful as a renewable energy source, this farm of something like 500 windmills should have displaced some coal demand, and this should be fairly easy to track. But nobody's looked into it. This makes me suspicious. You'd think somebody would have done that research.
A windmill in the Scottish Borders. Long exposure, pitch black but flashed once to light the rotors.
The present windmill on Brill Common in Buckinghamshire, was probably erected sometime in the 1680s. Although not quite the oldest windmill in England, it is one of the best preserved of the dozen or so 17th century post-mills still standing. A post-mill is a mill in which the whole structure revolves around a central post in order to face the wind.

2015 Photo Competition Sunrise / Sunset.
Wasn't sure how this would fare in what I expected to be a strong category. But the judges saw fit to score 14/15 points making it the highest scoring picture of the whole competition.
Windmill in Sint-Philipsland in post edit I added extra contrast and saturation.
Please view on black for a good look.
This is one of 75 windmills that are north of Muenster, TX. They are used to supply power to 250 homes. www.kxii.com/home/headlines/17403304.html
They can be seen for miles away and always look much closer than they actually are when your in town. Its amazing that something so large could be moving like a propeller so quickly. There isn't much noise emitted by them either.
It is difficult to convey the height of these without a good size reference, but the trees are a good indicator.
A random windmill off the exit on I-84 into Baker City, Oregon. My son and I went in to check it out.
A Chinese cemetery memorial site is right across the road.
The Bangui Windmills are located in Bangui, Ilocos Norte, Philippines. The windmills, officially referred to as the NorthWind Bangui Bay Project, were a project by the NorthWind Development Corporation as a practice renewable energy sources and to help reduce the greenhouse gases that cause global warming. The project is the first “Wind Farm” in the Philippines consisting of wind turbines on-shore facing the West Philippine Sea and considered to be the biggest in Southeast Asia. The project sells electricity to the Ilocos Norte Electric Cooperative (INEC) and provides 40% of the power requirements of Ilocos Norte via Transco Laoag.
