My first reaction when I saw these windmills was: Whoa, these were built by aliens! Then I kept thinking about Transformers (the movie). :p
Bangui windmills, the first power-generating windmill farm in the Philippines---a must-see when you're in Ilocos Norte. These gigantic wind turbines along the shores of Bangui Bay, Ilocos Norte, face the South China Sea and are considered the biggest in Southeast Asia. The turbines hub height is 70 meters, each blade is 41 meters long, and the base of a turbine is 6 meters in diameter.
"...As yet, the wind is an untamed,an unharnessed force; and quite possibly one of the greatest discoveries hereafter to be made, will be the taming, and harnessing of it."
- Abraham Lincoln, 1860

Bangui is 553 kilometers north of Manila, and 66 kilometers from Laoag City, the provincial capital.

Wow there should be more like this in that area since what I knew it's very windy there. It would surely help generate energy for cities or towns. Great shot!
The sky
what a wonderful sight these windmills are. can you hear some noise when you get closer to them?
These windmills are magnificent creatures.....they really do look like they are something out of the space age. The sky and clouds perfectly compete the shots in my mind. You definitely captured the complex beautifully.

Hahaha I told you they're extra terrestrialish!
Your last picture is very dramatic.
Nothing new in Europe... they are all over the place... and as such I find them a disturbing element in the landscape similar to the huge billboards.
You are the third blogger to post about these windmills! I was excited the first time I saw them!

Interesting photos of the windmills with the Moody sky.
Whoa, they do look like something out of a science fiction movie, especially against that dramatic sky!
Stunning composition!

Thanks for dropping by...
These windmills have become so photogenic! I love your povs and others show them differently too....ang ganda!
Opinions are divided on whether wind turbines enhance or spoil the landscape, but these certainly look dramatic.
Great pictures indeed. May the wind bring only happiness to you.

The high contrast between the propeller blades and the clouds is .. exciting!
