We couldn't decide if we thought the windmills were scenic or not.

They were *spooky,* though, out there in the middle of nowhere, especially on that grey snowy day. With the limited visibility, they just suddenly loomed in front of you, 350 feet tall, with huge blades turning almost silently.

We were actually thrilled at the sight, and drove back the 20 miles next day to see 'em again. It was even colder that day, about 0 degrees. Close to 3 feet of snow on the ground in the area, some roads not plowed or accessable.

There are rules here that require lots and lots and lots of committees and paperwork and approvals before anything taller than a tallish tree can be erected. It means we have VERY poor cell phone coverage, for one.
