Rural Thursday #12


This very nice, working windmill is right beside the road on the way to Tombstone. There was still quite a bit of "bushwhacking" involved to get the angle I wanted and I'm sure the people driving by were wondering "What the heck is that crazy woman taking pictures of out there in the mesquites?!?" :)


Linking up with Lisa and Nancy for Rural Thursday.

Tombstone Livestock said...

Thanks for sharing, they are very few and far between, but I think there may be some around here still, I need to take camera with me more often. That way when there is an opportunity I could be prepared.

Love old windmills!!

Susan said...

Oh, what we do for art! LOL! That is a great photograph. The only windmills we have around here are the size of the Queen Mary and annoy the heck out of me.

Windmills are so cool. It almost looks like the stand is wood? Thanks for doing the legwork to bring this to us : )

Teresa said...

These are great pictures! I hate that my windmill is surrounded by all kinds of stuff that get in the way of taking pictures.

Jan said...

Love the angle of your shot. I go thru the same things to get photos. I've given up thinking about what others are wondering.

Oh, I love windmills. I would to have one here on the farm. I an sorry for your loss of Lily. We also lost a newborn calf one time. It is so sad for us, because we love all our animals.

Wish my wind mill look that good. The wind destroyed it this year

Brian King said...

Gorgeous shots of the windmill, Candy! I wish we had them around here.

Nancy said...

Always love seeing complete windmills in good working order. Most around here have fallen into disrepair or have been vandalized.

Kateri said...

oh, yes! I love old wind mills, too. There is one I pass quite frequently--but I would have to to tresspass to get a decent photo of it--and even though it looks like it is on abandonded land, I'm too sure I want to do that. :) Love your photos1

Great windmill. I love it! I sometimes get tickled when I stop to take a picture and get funny looks! :-) Especially when I am photographing something many people take for granted because they see it every day! Learning to appreciate all the joys in this world is always fun!
