The windmills are at Royd Moor about 2 miles from my house. I've taken a lot of photos of them before and will probably post a gallery of them on my main web site at some time. When I got there it wasn't raining much but it didn't stay like that for long and then it stopped again for a while. I made my way around to the other side of them and also took some photos of the surrounding area before going home to dry out.
To make things a bit more challenging I took only a fixed length (50mm) lens so I had to zoom with my feet or crop the photos later. I also converted a few to Black and white to see if they were suitable for the competition.
First photo of six windmills nearest to the road.

As I got closer the weather started to roll in and the windmills in the background are being obscured by clouds

A bit later after the rain had passed over, this is the second row of winmills from the other end near the observation point.

Looking down onto Royd Moor reservoir in the foreground and Scout Dyke reservoir in the background. The Windmill reservoir on previous panorama is just to the left from here.

Finally when I got home Evey dog had arrived and was trying to sleep on my clean suite. I don't think she was too happy with me keep taking photos of her with the flash.
