Blazing Windmilll

Another windmill photo at sunrise in December. As mentioned before, sunrises in December in Colorado can be spectacular. This one was just that. A set of windmills in Northern Colorado are a common place for me to capture sunrise shots. There haven't been many sunrises that can match the one from this day. 0556

Windy

Windy. i went north of Fort Collins to just south of the Wyoming and Colorado Border. There are a set of windmills in the general area. This day was VERY windy so i wanted to capture a windmill rotating. Some were not and this one was. It was so windy i had to sit down on the ground and hold my tripod so it wouldn't tip over. 3013

Mt. Windmill

This windmill is taken in Nothern Colorado not far from the Rawhide Power Plant. It was taken with a long lens to get some compression between the windmill and the mountains. As you can see the sun had only been up for 10-15 minutes and is only hitting part of the mountains. Longs Peak in the background. It was a windy morning but the windmill wasn't released to pump water. Still makes for a wonderul site.

WIndyMill Sunrise

This was taken the last week in December 2010. It is in Northern Colorado between Fort Collins CO and Laramie WY. The sunrises in December are the most colorful in Colorado. This had some high level clouds but little near the horizon. It was windy this morning but it is hard to tell in the photo although the windmill is blurred some. Many windmills are on private property so i took this photo from the dirt road. The colors were brilliant this morning. it made for a nice result.

Windmill and the Moon

In Northern Colorado, there are a number of windmills outside of Fort Collins. One at the Meadow Springs Ranch provides a nice spot.
