Windmill

Krisztina's B & W action



As you can see the countryside around here is fairly flat and dry (even with the lovely rain we have had lately). Most of the farms rely on bores and windmills for their water. Wind is something we have plenty of. This windmill was actually spinning around really fast. The pic was taken at about 6pm, it has been one of those days with rain and sun on and off, so the light was really nice. I ran Krisztina's B&W action on the second one. I like them both.

Patti--

Thanks so much for the great comments on my pics!! It's really hard to get through all of these wonderful blogs. Glad you visit mine!

These pics are just fantastic! I think I like the color version best--very rich. **And if you ever visit Amarillo, you will feel right at home. It is windy and flat here, too! :)

this shot is great. Love the color and the b&w

You rock at landscapes, Patti!
I like the color a bit better- although the b/w is timeless, the color just adds "life".
Beautiful work!

Those are awesome. I can't pick a favorite b/c I love them both. Great job!
