Craziest things ever - taller than Buffalo's City Hall. I think each blade is about 200 feet long. Took a crazy hike through a trashed beach, a desert, rock climbed, then paths through (well mostly above) pits of toxic waste from Bethlehem Steel (ass holes) only to find these crazy giants. Getting to the top of the hill (where I was standing for this) was so rewarding! They make a really violent humming noise..which I'm guessing is the turbines making power? Anyway, the day this was taken was probably the first time these have been photographed (also by Joe P, same day) as far as I know/have seen.

Big brother windmill looking over the shoulder of an old standby. This was found in the middle of a huge wind farm located along Rt. 63 just south of Kentland Indiana.
After a number of grants and charity gifts this Windmill was restored and open to the public.
The money has now run out and it's now closed! Shame as it is a beautiful windmill in a lovely setting.
And it was also the windmill used in Jonathan Creek .
Originally built in 1821, the mill was further extended to its current 5 stories in 1870. It is powered by 4 sails, 11 metres in length, and was in commercial use until 1966. Between 1954 and 1966 the mill was used for grinding animal feedstuff using newly-installed electric rollers but also continued producing stoneground flour, too. The mill was sold to the local council in 1969 for £1 and after being renovated was opened in 1974 as a working museum. The mill is open to visitors all week, milling takes place from Wednesday to Sunday weather permitting. Adjacent warehouses contain the Museum of East Riding Rural Life, including a famous 'Wolds Wagon' built by P.H. Sissons & Sons, which was originally lent to the Beverley Army Museum of transport. P.H. Sissons & Sons were based at Beswick and built wagons from 1854 onwards
