Over the past year or two I've noticed more of these little windmills dotting the countryside. I saw this one near Richmound, Saskatchewan. Tiny in comparison with the old ones but they get the job done. Nostalgic value will come in time.
I have to admit that I enjoy seeing them just spinning in the wind. It would be even more fun to see them painted with colourful and dizzying spirals and corkscrew designs...a little bit of psychedelia for the prairies.

I guess they don't have to be super tall to catch a strong prairie wind!
