Default Stormy Windmill

Found this on the way home from work the other day, the sky was amazing and made for an incredible backdrop. I happen to keep noticing old windmills all over the place. I pass this one at least 2 to 3 time a week, this weekend it jumped out at me a screamed, Take a picture!!

Good work Joe and I can understand why you would want to capture the shot. I particularly like the angle from which the picture was taken, it encourages the observer to look at the tower, then up and through the tower towards the sky, good job

Great Photo Joe; I glad you listened when it Screamed or else we wouldn't have had the opportunity to see this Amazing shot! It almost looks like an HDR shot.
Thanks for Sharing this
Chewys Dad.
