March of the Wind-farms

Selected for Google Maps and Google Earth

A local sunset made me run around about 3 miles from home to get to a hill and capture the sun just going down. I could have sworn, that the wind-farms where on the march!

Very nice sunset Herb! Interesting idea of marching wind-farms. Wasn't it "marching against windmills"???

Greetings from Germany, Mario

"Noch ein" love these myself Herb good shot from Rippy Rd.... I want to catch the cross at Grains Bar from Oldham Edge when the suns right it glistens beautifuly and sometimes when the mist covers Derker it makes a fab scene with the cross sparkling in the sun.... Lovely pic of the marching windmills ha ha ..regards Den..

Herb Riddle on July 19, 2009

Ganz gut Dennis, Sie sprechen auch Deutsch! It seems you have the picture taking bug now, yourself. Yes, planning a good shot in certain lighting is the key to getting it just right. Glad you like these soldier windmills. Cheers, Herb
