Windmills of the Big Sky

As anyone can tell, I love my windmills. I think it is because as a young child there was a picture of one hanging in our house that had been painted by my father. Anyway, I think my favorite image that I made at Kinderdijk was "this one". However it had a tiny rain drop in the sky, that bothered me each time I viewed it, especially after I learned that such flaws can be corrected by cloning. So I opened my PhotoShop, thinking I was going to learn how to clone. Well, that attempt ended up with me writing a "Blog Rant". Throwing myself upon the kindess of others, I finally was able to get my Fave Windmill cloned, but in the process of uploading and replacing the images at Flickr, I discovered I had lost my "2nd Favorite Windmill" and who knows how many others. I am trying to get them all back in order, but it is hopeless. I don't really know if this is the original picture that was here, but I am delighted that it was just favorited by Catherine Jamieson. ~~barneykin 2 Aug 06

Sometime in the past I also blogged the photo that was here at Neddy's World, a photoblog.
