Southern Skies

Hello all,

I have been driving past this broken windmill for over six years now and never really gave it much thought, but when I woke up at about 2:30am and couldn't get back to sleep, I went outside to discover that the sky had finally cleared after what seems like months, and for some reason I just started thinking of the broken windmill and what I could do with it. I hope you like the results.
Cheers
Greg

Apologies to everyone for the lack of IOTW's in recent weeks - I've been spending my spare moments getting the IceInSpace Shop up and running.

But what better way to get IOTW going again than featuring this brilliant shot by Greg.

Congrats Greg, it's stunning.

It's now IOTW.

Fantastic and awesome images esp the second one. I skipped a heart beat when i saw it. If possible do share your camera setup with the snap settings.

Thanks for sharing it with us.

Excellent! Stunning images, very nice indeed. I love the colours of the second one. I do still like the first very much though, I like the hi lighting of the tank with light.
