I honestly didn’t expect to feel so moved. There’s something almost meditative about just standing there, watching the blades turn slowly, over and over. It felt like time paused for a moment — no rush, no noise, just wind and sky and water. It stays with you, that kind of quiet.

It’s hard to put into words, but I felt small in the best possible way. Like I was stepping into a postcard that somehow remembered everything the world used to be. The calm, the rhythm of the wind—it kind of gets into your chest. I left feeling lighter, like I’d been somewhere that actually mattered.

You think you're just going to see something “nice,” but then it hits you—the stillness, the space, the weird sense of history breathing around you. It felt grounding, almost surreal. I didn’t expect it to make me feel so connected to... I don’t even know what. Just something bigger.
