My inner jury’s out on the aesthetics of windmills in landscapes. France is the place to see them, where they’re called Eoliennes, after Aeolus, the God of the Winds.I suspect their impact depends more on the state of the sky than that of the land.
If the scene is a bit boring and not pretty, windmills are a definite enhancement.
Up closer, I love their size. Aptly, a friend commented that they recall Triffids -- but he may have meant those other tripod-like creatures in some other John Christopher novel.
