Something old is new again - Windmills!
There are windmills everywhere in Europe. Ingrid points out that they can be seen where she lives in Schleswig-Holstein/Germany. Also well known are the Spanish windmills through 'Don Quixote of La Mancha' by Cervantes. Here in the US we are starting to embrace wind technology to produce electric power.

The Windmills of Consuegra: Twelve windmills can be found atop the Cerro Calderico ridge, along with a striking 12th century castle. Fans of the Spanish writer, Cervantes, will instantly recognize these windmills, which were prominently featured as the ‘giants’ in the ‘Don Quixote’ novel. Standing proudly atop the ridge, with their white cylindrical towers and blue, pointed roofs, I can imagine why Cervantes felt so inspired by them!
