On our anniversary trip into Wyoming this weekend there are quite a few windmills going up. I have always enjoyed watching them. When we lived in California, the trip to Bakersfield was fun between Mojave and Tehachapi because I enjoyed the windmills...

mars hill windmills maine

I have tried with 4 cameras and 3 years...this year it is a cheaper nikon, so far the best and still not what I want. these wndmills are on a trucking route I travel, and shot out the passenger window while bouncing along in a tractor trailer.
