A multi-bladed farm windpump rises from the mid-ground, its steel tower and fan wheel intact. Behind it and further left, a three-bladed wind turbine stands against a pale, overcast sky, part of the Boco Rock Wind Farm. Blurred yellow-green foliage fills the foreground and rolling green paddocks connect the two structures across the middle distance, on Monaro country in New South Wales.

A galvanised multi-blade windmill stands on a steel lattice tower in the foreground, its fan head angled slightly off the wind. Behind it, a modern three-blade wind turbine rises from the crest of a low hill, its white tower dwarfing the older structure. Green pasture and patches of dry stubble roll between them. Yellow wildflowers blur soft in the near ground. The sky is flat, overcast, pale.
