Windmills
Posted by Yvon (Meerkerk, Netherlands) on 2 April 2007 in Landscape & Rural.
This one is especially for Color Blind. It's an old photo I scanned. I love the dark sky and the lines of the mills and road.

love these windmills. I used to go and stand at the base of them when I was younger and look straight up. It was a most disorientating yet wonderful feeling. like the whole world was spinning yet and if i let go then id fall iinto spave. Love the perspective here Yvon and the colours are great, very brooding.

@Duncan Galbraith: Thanks! I guess standing at the base is less dangerous than half a mile up wind because when a blade brakes off, they can fly very far! I never looked straight up, but next time I will.

@Dimitrios: Hey D, didn't know that. As an environmental consultant I like to promote green energy. I love the sight of the windmills in the country side. Thanks for all your comments. And to answer your question from a few days ago, unfortunately I don't live near the sea, I used to as a kid and I loved it!
