Default Forgotten Windmills
Spent the day in wine country in Elgin, Arizona. Bet you didn't know Arizona had "wine country" did ya? The old windmills still pump water to the cattle in the remote areas.

Great shots, that third one was a great idea with the reflection, but the second stands out as my favorite.

Really great composition on 2 and 3. All of them are really nice though.

Some really nice shot. I like the reflection shot the best, because to see that and then be able to capture it is spectacular.

All great shots but I really like how you captured the reflection in the third shot.

You spent the day in the place I call home. Ahhhh. These are some of the best windmill shots I've ever seen. The reflection in the trough is just out of this world!

Sweet! I love the water trough and how the windmill fits perfectly in those boundaries. I bet that would make a nice crop...just the trough. Nice shots!
