This grouping of old windmills, literally popped up on the horizon in front of me while on a drive alone through Spain several years ago. I immediately stopped and made quite a few photographs, exploring them with no one in sight to be found. They were in excellent condition, slowly turning away, silently harvesting the wind. It was such a surprise to me to see them and I surmised I had to be in La Mancha, a place made famous in Don Quixote, a novel written by Miguel de Cevantes in 1605. I vaguely remembered this book that I think was required reading in High School and was suddenly intrigued to actually be there. As there weren't allot of route options on my journey, I pretty much wandered wherever the roads took me as I traveled from Marbella on the Costa Del Sol to Segovia, North of Madrid.
