Little soldiers indeed, in gentle motion. You have given them life and personality.

Not so little, if I remember well...
Oh, I haven't seen the windmills, what a miss!
God bless you!

This angle of your photo reminds me of the windmills on the ridge above Consuegra, Spain.
Remember what Michel Legrand was singing ..about the " windmills of your mind"...
These classic windmills are so marvelous. Very nice, brattcat.
Hello BC
The CDP portal roared back into life this week.
Have you checked to see that your blog is listed?
Who else covers your town, or your region?
Voting for the December Theme Day poll commences Thursday 25th October - this Thursday!
Don't forget, the Theme Day on 1st November is 'The Water's edge.
Now, how to capture the tension on the edge of the water as a dragonfly alights?

So classic. What a fantastic trip Brattcat!
Splendid image of these impressive pieces of machinery. Reminds me of Cervantes: At this point they came in sight of thirty forty windmills that there are on plain, and as soon as Don Quixote saw them he said to his squire, "Fortune is arranging matters for us better than we could have shaped our desires ourselves, for look there, friend Sancho Panza, where thirty or more monstrous giants present themselves, all of whom I mean to engage in battle and slay, and with whose spoils we shall begin to make our fortunes; for this is righteous warfare, and it is God's good service to sweep so evil a breed from off the face of the earth."
"What giants?" said Sancho Panza.
"Those thou seest there," answered his master, "with the long arms, and some have them nearly two leagues long."
"Look, your worship," said Sancho; "what we see there are not giants but windmills, and what seem to be their arms are the sails that turned by the wind make the millstone go."
"It is easy to see," replied Don Quixote, "that thou art not used to this business of adventures; those are giants; and if thou art afraid, away with thee out of this and betake thyself to prayer while I engage them in fierce and unequal combat."
Lovely photo. I don't know why but I can't get excited about windmills. Perhaps they remindme of flat countries and I need mountains. And there's a perfectly good hill in this one, so there you are - a few useless words about what is a lovely photo.
