It all comes down to whether you view a windmill as a piece of art or as a piece of infrastructure.

I guess another way of looking at it..

Is the Tokyo tower a piece of art worthy of being considered an architectural marvel, or is it just a huge radio broadcast tower that is blocking the view of the surrounding city?

I just can't find beauty in these sorts of things. Infrastructure is infrastructure, and it can't be made sexy.




Let's leave the windmills to the Dutch.
