Windmills

It's another scene from the wide open spaces of WY but this shows another element that was very common - a windmill.  I don't think I've ever seen a concentration of windmills as I saw going through WY and SD.  Of course they are practical in that they usually pump water for the livestock but they also have a sort of beauty all their own.  Or maybe it's my imagination and their mystic.  In any event, I always enjoy seeing them.  They also remind me of a friend from about 40 years ago who had a collection of photographs of windmills.  She did a lot of research and could tell the brand and some of their history.  I thought it was a unique hobby.
