Default Windmill Blades

A windmill under construction in Southwestern Minnesota. The company I work for is putting these towers together.

Al,

That's really very nicely framed.
Beautiful b&w tonality and a lovely capture indeed.

Albert,
Two beautiful pictures that I prefer the color for his interesting composition to me suggests something extraterrestrial.
Good job.

Big Buggers!

Both images are very nice, excellent framing. I like the other image you posted in Landscape as well.

Be great if you could show us the progress of the project. Must take a bit to get the propeller on the tower.

You are welcome Al,

Looking forward to seeing the progress

You got the exiting job of putting the "Lego" pieces together. A few years back the mine here got a new shovel and the big pieces arrived on eight rail cars. They had to use two 100 ton cranes for some of the pieces they where to heavy for one. Nope didn't get any pictures of that excitement.
Just some with the bits and pieces on the rail cars.
