What Was Old Once is New Again

Wind power once enjoyed a long run out on the windy grasslands as a means of pumping water for widely dispersed cattle. Today, a second surge of windmills is popping up here to help provide power for America into the next century.

Shot Notes: Used a 10-stop ND B+W filter for a 30 second exposure to ensure max windmill and grass movement/blurring to set the mood. Converted to black and white in Silver Efex Pro.
