Windmills at Sunset Photo

Photographer’s Note

There is something magical about electricity generating windmills. It's not just the fact that they represent a renewable, clean energy source; it's not simply their sleek lines; as hypnotising as the comforting whooshing sound of the sails slowly rotating is, there is more to their appeal than just that. It's a combination of all three, and more...or is it just me?

Not the usual sunset. I like your pespective with the size of the windmills decreasing as approaching the sun.

Nice shot Serena!
Don't worry, you're not going crazy, i really like them too!
Nice composition. The light here works really well. I like the over exposure, giving the windmills sihouettes.
Nice how they break the horizon, like a field of huge man made flowers!
Well done!

Good mix between natural scene and man-made stuff. The composition is interesting, one dominant windmills with the others as background. The sky and cloud add something nice to it as well.

Great silhouettes together with a good sunset brings this different landscape alive. I like the way you have taken this picture witht the windmills disappearing acroos the hilltop - good perspective.

I agree completely with your note. After seeing my first wind I was impressed by all of that. Sleek, clean and with just the slightest whooshing sound. This captures that feel very nicely. THe way the windmills lead us to the horizon along the nice silhouette of the ground is really impressive. It's like a march here and and all so light. I can almost hear the sounds of their deceptively slow movement. Excellent work, well seen.
