Caption
Built in 1740, the windmills at Kinderdijk demonstrate that being "green" isn't something new. This area is kept dry, despite being below sea level, in a truly carbon neutral way—the power of the wind!How appropriate that this image was taken by a camera lifted into the air by a kite.
The image was taken in May, 2010, at an international convention of Kite Aerial Photographers, which met in The Netherlands.

intervalometer. Suspended below a Rokkaku Kite with a 6ft/2m span.This technique produces two hemispheres, and a different workflow in PTGui from the classic ground pano technique. This results in lower resolution BUT impossible angles!
