We've visited the various windmills that dot the city of Batavia, Illinois, so I won't bore you with the town's history of windmill manufacture. Anyway, here's another one, a big Batavia-made piece that dates from the late 1800's. It's in great shape, and turns silently when the wind's up.

Turbine
I know that the subject of wind turbines is a controversial one. I just think they look kind of cool, in a spooky way.

Goodhue Special
This week's TtV Tuesday entry is another locally made antique windmill from the Batavia collection. This one's a Goodhue Special, made by the Appleton Manufacturing Company. It dates, if I remember correctly, from the 1920's, and is in fine condition.
This is another one of those shots that shows just what I like about TtV photography. It's essentially a picture of a reflection, as this is what's on the mirror inside one of my dusty old Full-Vues, which is directly viewable from the glass window on the top of the camera. It's very analogue, like looking at a projection.
