On Saturday I ended up spooking-around one of my old favorite haunts, the Montezuma Hills, rolling hills at the base of the Sacramento Delta; between Fairfield and Rio Vista, California.

This is sheep grazing country but the low and rounded hills are primarily used for growing wheat.

Over the past 40 years or so I've watched the Montezuma Hills sprout a tremendous number of new and massive wind turbines.

Above is a shot I made in the Montezuma Hills about 30 years ago.
Sorry to report that from between the ages of 23 to ten years ago at age 53 I did relatively little photography, although I never stopped "looking".

The new and the old...
Yesterday I had some teeth pulled -- this morning I feel old, about 101.
