Great shot! I love how subtle the background is. L/F
Richard Reeve replied:
Thank you, Amy. I was disappointed at not being able to see the windmills more clearly, but this does have an eerie feel to it - sort of "new meets old", with the old hazard marker in the foreground.

Wonderful shot! Fantastic contrast! L/F!
Richard Reeve replied:
Thank you, Meg. this was a short trip back to the town of my childhood. The windmills were new and the sandstorm from the Sahara (true!) kept them in a foggy haze for the few days I was there.
