Ooo I love it!! They have a bunch of those my original home state (KS), and they are quite breath-taking when you happen upon them while traveling across the state. **LOVE your title too :)
I agree. Sitting out there listening to air being moved is nothing short of amazing. Its a strange but surreal feeling that something bigger than us could give us a feeling of peace.
i've seen these! we went to the pumpkin patch next to them last year. we have some not too far from here. i really like watching the big semi trucks go up and down the highway with all those big parts. watching them on the exit ramps is pretty funny too. i feel badly for the drivers.
I love the photo, especially with the farmhouse as perspective. Am not so sure I'd love to live near them, though. I think that whoosh, whoosh, whoosh would do my head in after a short while.
We just recently drove through Indiana and saw the windmill farms. I tried to take photos of them from the car window (going 70 miles an hour ... tricky) and, of course, never got anything close to what I wanted. THIS is the shot I would have loved to have gotten! They are impressive and beautiful in a strange way. Marvelous!

ReplyDeleteLove them...they have a sea of them just outside Copenhagen(home away from home) harbour...there's a stunning view when you fly into the airport.
ReplyDeleteWe have these too...but never stood close enough to feel their power... They are quite amazing to look at though.

ReplyDeleteIt looks so peaceful here, I have never seen them in person.
ReplyDeletei've seen these bad boys in germany, but nowhere else. there's something awfully peaceful about them i think.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Sitting out there listening to air being moved is nothing short of amazing. Its a strange but surreal feeling that something bigger than us could give us a feeling of peace.
ReplyDeleteThey are so beautiful and yes, peaceful! Hi there, from a Jersey girl. :)
ReplyDeleteamazing! i always find these to be peaceful....
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm, I would really like to hear the wind moving though a field of windmills. Does it sound like humming or does it roar?
ReplyDeleteits like a whoosh. its not a fast whoosh, its a whoosh...whoosh...whoosh..lol ok is anyone laughing at me, because im laughing at myself..lol
ReplyDeleteHey Jersey Girl!

ReplyDeleteI first saw these driving throught the Yorkshire Dales in England a few years ago. I agree, they're powerful and awe inspiring. Interesting Shot!
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you Melissa.
I've only seen single windmills...not an entire field but they are compelling somehow...I would love to hear the sound someday...
ReplyDeleteLike the perspective of the house compared to the windmill. Never seen these in person.
ReplyDeleteI love the photo, especially with the farmhouse as perspective. Am not so sure I'd love to live near them, though. I think that whoosh, whoosh, whoosh would do my head in after a short while.
ReplyDelete: ) I So want to see them, up close. Gorgeous open air, photo.
ReplyDeleteI love them. Awe inspiring:)
