pauledell Posted August 5, 2015 Share #2 Posted August 5, 2015 Excellent composition, colors and sharpness for this unusual view. The windmills we are accustomed to see anymore are the ones that generate electricity and an occasional farm windmill for pumping water from a well.

Pecole Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted August 6, 2015 Excellent composition, colors and sharpness for this unusual view. The windmills we are accustomed to see anymore are the ones that generate electricity and an occasional farm windmill for pumping water from a well. Paul I had one of these "windmills" generating electricity in my Portuguese property (we never got linked to the network, due to the distance), but it did not raised any sentiment up other than gratefulness. Have you noticed that the "sails" on the wings are clearly derived from maritime one - logical for a sea-oriented and rather windy country - contrary to the systems used in Northern regions of Europe.

Iduna Posted August 7, 2015 Share #4 Posted August 7, 2015 Pecole, great. It reminds me of those strories from "Don Quixote de la Mancha". Until today we prove our heritage being alive... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
