Today was the one working day of my visit to Cornwall but I still managed to find a photo opportunity in between waving my arms at recorder players and dodging the rain showers. On our way home Shirley and I stopped at the Carland Cross Wind Farm and, despite the overcast weather, I just about managed to find enough contrast between the enormous turbines and the grey sky. I used as slow a shutter speed as I dared in the blustery conditions to try and capture a sense of movement in the turbine blades. Let’s hope I get better weather for the rest of my visit now I’m officially on holiday!

;-) The weather does not have make your holiday, you have to do it yourself ... with your camera in your hand. Nice capture! Ryana · 2011-05-28: 15:37

These windmills are amazing. When I photographed them on a distant hill in Israel, I could not imagine their actual size! ????? · 2011-05-29: 01:04
