As soon as Barbara Streisand pays a couple of hundred thou" for an oil painting of a US windmill, they will become picturesque.

Dutch windmills are mostly brick structures in an isolated location. US windmills are windmill "farms" with very many ugly metal structures covering entire hillsides.

Have you ever seen one of the farmer's fields with just one oil rig painted to look like a grasshopper? Those are kind of neat (IMO) and a lot different than an entire oil field.
