Ethereal and gorgeous work Lon! I like the blues and mist and of course the silhouetted wind mill.

Beautiful. The low lying mist adds a lot. Where's your tripod? Naughty!

You are right, Kah Kit, it deserved a tripod! It was one of those unplanned situations where I was off looking for certain large mammals, and I was taken enough by the light to stop my vehicle, put on a wider lens and hurriedly fire off a few clicks. I will strive to do better in the future!

Wonderful shot, Lon. The smoke from the burn really makes this special along with the nice light and comp.

Lon, this is lovely M&N image. I find it interesting when man-made structures such as this one seem to look so harmonious in the landscape, sometimes even enhancing it. Simple yet effective composition with beautiful soft light and colours.

Beautiful light, Lon. The smoke adds lots of mood to the image, and silhouetted windmill is very strong against the soft sky. Nice shot!
