I saw these today in a kite shop (uhoh... kites... another idea for the challenge) - lots of different wind chimes with different wings. I'll show you some:

Since they don't chime, let's call them what they really are...Whirlygigs!
Nice shots. Cal |

Those are some pretty striking designs. Good collection of shots showing off these flights of fancy.

I was about to write a longer PM... but then I found, that "Whirlygig" is indeed a word to describe them, maybe rather "whirligig" or even "spinner". Coming from the german word "Windspiel" the dictionaries only give me "wind chime", though. But I think I know what kind of wind chimes you mean and those are different, hm. Another new word I learned by reading and posting here ![]() Oh, and a hint... for the direct translation of "Whirlygigs" into german you might want to look here --> http://www.dict.cc/deutsch-englisch/%5BHoden%5D.html ... so you MIGHT get some suspicious looks if you use that word without further explanations. ![]() Kind regards, Th.

yes - we like that kite shop very much and I am tempted to make a lil' series, but most shop owners don't like photographers that much, as they fear other people will copy their ideas when they see the pictures. We already have a small collection of these spinners in our garden and my wife bought 2 new ones right away ![]() regards, Th. |
