I've always thought that silos and water towers were great places for art and advertising. Here's one that jumped out at me on a dark night last summer.

soup- neither, it's there to be seen from the highway and lit up at night; only thing I did was black out some trees in the backgroung, crop, and resize.
kirbic- I had that thought too, a challenge based around silos and water towers, might be fun.

| Windmills are cool with me but I surely don't see many of them in my part of the country. |

You never know ... this one's in the middle of a city of about 120,000, with several others around it ... |

Then you should like this ... it was part of the same hedge. I was using the oleander to hide the ugly utility pole next to the windmill.

| Hey guys, silos, water tanks, windmills, or old barns with advertising, keep on snapping away. These are a part of the past that is slowly disappearing in many sections of the country |

| Here is a great article about how water towers work on my favorite website: howstuffworks.com |

I found a very interesting link at the end of that article showing interesting water towers across the U.S.
Find it here. |

If you want to see a REAL windmill, check out the town I grew up in, Bowling Green, Ohio. I don't have a picture of it myself, but I found a page that does.
Check it Out!
The windmill is rented out for apartments.

I can see why this jumped out at you. It would be a creepy feeling seeing this at night.

| Very cool Quadrajet. The star-streaks are an excellent touch. This is going to cost me some sleep!! |
