Layers of wispy clouds trace patterns against the blue skies in the fading light of an August day. This wind turbine, near Grand Bend, Ontario, stands silhouetted against a watercolor tableau.
The strong, straight lines of windmills contrast with the softness of the skies. Photos of windfarms have a graphic punch that comes with the juxtapostion of something so mechanical as a windmill and the natural landscape of a rural area. Like the barn silos and church steeples of the last centuries, windmills now stand as a symbol of rural life.
