Een goede foto John. Het scherptedieptespel is erg goed en bepaald de hoeveelheid diepte, die de foto sprekend maakt. Ja.. en het verschil van een paar eeuwen in een foto.. dat heb je mooi vastgelegd. Nu is dit een te gekke wallpapersite.. ik weet zeker dat op een fotografiesite de reacties wel eens heel interessant zouden zijn kwa techniek ect.. wederom ook erg origineel! Een posting die mij pakt vriend! Mich

The windmill looks so small and outdated to the new versions of it. A great comparison shot.

Well John, these very "ugly" giants just might save America one day if it can get off it's fat American keister and make it happen! You've made these ugly giants beautiful in your photo.... Thanks for sharing!

Good shot to answer my question John. I prefer the older ones.

They certainly are ugly John, no wonder why you haven't uploaded a photo of them before. ;o)

I still wonder if the old mills looked ugly to the people of 300 years ago - weŽll get used to the new ones! Great picture, thanks for sharing!

Great image and it's sad to see the large turbines overtaking the old fashion wind mill. At least this way we can compare the difference in sizes

Dear friends, do not worry, the 'ugly' new windmills are not intended for anything else but to generate the renewable [clean] energy = by all means great and worthy purpose - in my opinion.
Unless somebody prefers the nuclear power plants ....

The giants maybe more efficent but they arn't as pleasing to look at. A very good image of contrast.
