Nice scene but feels about 2/3's of a stop underexposed.

This is not a mid-day take but a 19:10… appreciate
the long shadow and the warmer tones.

It is a wind-clapper… that has proven not to work as bird scarer but is a folkloric 
and so popular it is a national symbol — traditional element of the old Steierska
countryside since 16th century.


A klopotec (pronounced [klɔˈpɔːtəts]) is a wooden mechanical device
on a high wooden pole, similar to a windmill. It is used as a bird
scarer in the vineyards of traditional wine-growing landscapes of
Slovenia, Austria, and Croatia. It is one of the symbols of Slovenia
and Styria.

The device has many names. In Slovene Styria (Slovenija  Štajerska)
it is called 
klopotec and in some dialects klapoc. Both words derive
from klopotati, that is 
to produce cut off, rhythmic sounds. Germans
call it Windradl or Windmühle; e
ver increasing is the use of the word
Klapotetz and also Klapotez. In English it 
could be described as a
bird-scaring rattle, a wind-rattle or a wind-clapper.
