Bangui Windmills, Bangui, Ilocos Norte, Philippines

This is the second time I've been here and it's still a wonderful sight.  Taken using a 'generic' wind-up and expired film.





This is the very first wind farm in the Philippines (probably in Asia) built by the NorthWind Power Development Corporation.  Winds coming in from the South China Sea generates a considerable amount of power for half of the Ilocos region.  It has gained popularity with locals, visitors and foreigners alike due to its accessibility to the public.  These are some of the biggest windmills in existence and can be seen even from the National Road on the way to the famous Pagudpud beaches.
