The rolling green hills of this region created a great layered effect as rain fell and I was able to feature this windmill and tank in the mist blue grey light. / Taken on Fuji S3 Pro / ISO 200 / f8 / 1/250 sec / 450mm focal length
Fine rain falls over green rolling farm lands in the Southern Flinders Ranges. / As I travel along my eyes constantly scan the landscape looking for photo oportunities. / As was case here Iwhenshooting in the rain…drove my 4wd up over an embankment and framed the image by positioning the 4wd…I then wound down the window and shot this horizontal image,up with window to wipe the lens dry and then a vertical followed. I have lost count of the times I have used this technique to great advantage.
Poem Collaboration time people :) :) The idea here is to add TWO lines of the poem and let someone else add another two lines as we form a poem around the photo that can be added to the Red Bubble Collaboration Hub. :) Get involved and let’s see what wonderful work we can all make together :) :) Hapless in the wind again / No need to turn and wonder / Fateful days are coming soon / bareback on roll of thunder / Lightening streamers from broken clouds / As I gaze towards the sea / The sea gazes right back at me / Oh I see I see the sea / For wind it empowers me, of this i am sure / and to the skies i reach whilst on circular chore / and as i watch, with all my wonder / the reaching skies, the clouds out yonder / a broken sentinel, stark and still / beneath a reborn sky / And while I gaze upon the mill, the battered blades laid bare / It is my soul, for all to see, far beyond repair / For my soul has been ripped and torn for many a long year / But unlike the clouds of recent times, I’m unable to shed a tear / broken blades to gods creation, reaching out to me / the tears and fears fading fast, his light embracing me / Surrendered now, come thick come fast / The deed is done my time has passed / Back to dreaming of by-gone years / I can remember through broken tears / That I danced along the edge of fear / Just to get your warmth so near / and one says, what am I doing there?? / just passing by, and going to nowhere / but nowhere’s not so far / I’m carried upon the winds of time beyond a distant star / Shadow sways; its hold relinquished / Illuminating day renews the spirit / The battered windmill, atop the hill / Looking as though Iife has stood still / battered and twisted it stands still strong / not even weather could kill Have a look at this as a JE HERE with credits to the collaborators :) VBS Or look HERE to view this as a Card with the poem on it :)
Cornwall is fast becoming the wind farm county. This is a windfarm on the north coast at Delabole. Hundreds of these are dotted over the county and I tried to capture the farm without making it look like the blight it is on the landscape. Many more of these are being proposed and opposed, fueling the debate on sustainable energy over eyesore.
A windmill on the Canary Island of Fuerteventura.
Built in 1829 the Maud Foster Mill in Boston is one of the UK’s tallest and finest working windmills. The mill uses wind power to produce flour on a commercial basis – up to three tonnes per week. It’s unusual since it is situated on a residential road, right in the heart of Boston which is a busy English town. It is unusual as normally you would expect to find these things way out in the country.
This old Aermotor Windmill in southeastern Colorado serves up the perfect infinity pool for this crowd of bovines.

I haven’t seen a “proper” kiddie windmill for years! When I saw this outside a shop in Greece, bright colours in the bright sunshine, I just had to take a shot :-) [Sony a350, Sigma 17-70@55mm f:11, 1/160sec, ISO-100]
This was the original working of the rustic country scene that I rejected in place of the “lean left, lean right” image. I now prefer this image because of it’s warm colours & intimacy.
