Farm windpump and reservoir on the road to Sutherland

A classic multi-bladed windpump beside its round concrete reservoir on a Karoo roadside near Sutherland, poplars leaning in the wind. The windpomp has harvested this region's wind for a century - the same resource now driving the utility-scale wind farms on the surrounding escarpments.
