We have these wind farms here in NZ also. Not the best of sites but are creating energy. Great capture - thanks for sharing Bill. Cheers, Bernz

Take care, sir," cried Sancho. "Those over there are not giants but windmills"
Great picture Bill, excellent sky, colours, light, shadow and contrast

Nice Capture Bill! I've seen these Windmill farms on Maui, but yours is better. I've thought of a long exposure trying to capture the rotation blur, perhaps I'll give it a try.
Thanks for sharing this
Michael.

Thanks Michael, I hope to go back, I have this idea of lying on my back and taking a picture of the height of the windmill, now I am thinking of a long exposure, they say imitation is a form of flattery.
