11?
I do not want to be problematic (just a little), but could we have them de-hazed?
I may be wrong - but I do not see 11 windmills. But of course, your monitor could be better than mine 
Have fun!

There you go
(I think I’m cheating 
…)
DISCLAIMER: I took a printscreen from darktable zoomed at that area (very bright), pasted it on Gimp, exported to tif, opened it on DT, and applied filmic (auto tune, then tweaked black relative exposure)

Good evening, @gadolf,
No, I do not think that you cheated – more or less any method would be OK in order to reach the correct answer.
BUT: You forget to answer the question!!! How many windmills are there?
Have fun!

10?
That is what I also think
But the 11th, which Tamur found, might,
perhaps, be there as well (number 3 from
left in his foggy image).
Have fun!

Sidenote: Nothing against gimp, on the contrary, but I didn’t need to take a so complicated tour. I could have used the very easy duplicate manager from DT to make a copy, then crop it and apply the same filmic I did before… anyway…
RawTherapee (shamefully not upgraded to latest - so no dehaze tool for me!)
Mainly the graduated filter and a very custom tone curve, plus a bit of tone mapping to add back some local contrast.

Ten. I believe these ten windmills are near the Miradouro do Pico da Vara atop Sao Miguel in the Azores of Portugal.
Here’s a clearer view:
The shot could have been taken {18}{1\over4}\ \mathsf {km} away at one of the lookouts near Santa Iria:
An images.google.com search using my jpg with the descriptors sea coastal cliffs fjord led me to this wallpaper of a similar shot. The author had used the keyword Azores; modifying the search took me to Sao Miguel Island, so off to earth.google.com I went.

Looking at the historical data in Google Earth Pro, it looks like the windmills were built sometime between 2009 and 2013.
@HIRAM, this picture was geotagged manually, so location is not very precise.
Reading the gps tag online… Jeffrey Friedl's Image Metadata Viewer
Looks to be tagged a couple of towns away in Ribiera Grande.
Fixed it… in my collection ))) BTW, it would be great to show GPS heading information in maps mode. Those pictures tagged with GPS device have this information.
@timur Thanks for uploading this image!
It gave me (as well as many other forumers) great joy! Also, it made me test other modules in order to conquer the haze, which means that I had a chance to learn something new.
… and to satisfy Claes…
Thank you. After all, the topic of the thread was to kill haze, wasn’t it? Not to hide the windmills 
Have fun!

With Rawtherapee 5.5 - branch newlocallab, with 2 process
- dehaze on all image
- Retinex on top of image with local adjustement
Of course I could refine the work, enlighten the image, play on the contrast, but I wanted to do what we can do by adding “local” to the global

I tried to give the hazy top some extra definition. Some haze is nice
