 After one of our wells went dry, we had to get our 1917 Aermotor Windmill to pump way up a hill to a holding tank. Hence the solar powered windmill and pump; modern and aged science.

Did you mean to include the power lines in the background? They make the picture more interesting for this challenge :)

Funny thing, a windmill powered by sun, but I guess it was mostly for the title. :-) Neat shot, I like the colours too!

Too bad you couldn't move those tree in the background. That would really make it easier to see the main subjects. Nice composition.

I like the idea behind it but the composition needs some work.

The windmill against that sky is beautiful - the solar panel juxtaposition is perfect. The trees behind detract a bit though.
