22nd day -- Prairie windmills

I have much better photos that I took today, but I want to record the fact that I spent most of my day in my car, traveling from Central Kansas to the Front Range of Colorado. The extremes in weather was surprising. Central Kansas still has geraniums and roses blooming, Western Kansas was covered in 5 inches of snow with hazardous driving conditions, and the Front Range of Colorado had snow on the ground with clear skies when I arrived.

The windmills are located in north central Kansas along Interstate 70. They stand an impressive 150 feet high and dominate the skyline for miles. It's hard for me to keep my eyes on the road when I'm in this area because the windmills are so mesmerizing.

Truth to tell, I was also impressed that I could get such a clear, focused shot while I was driving! Click on the photo a few times to enlarge it, then try to count all of the windmills in the scene.
