 Route 23; The Scenic Route - somewhere between Standerton and Balfour, South Africa at the end of a long photographic road trip.

ETA Post Roll Over: The JPG conversion from a massive TIFF image down to a paltry 800px and <300kb added the slight haloing behind the vanes. I will attempt to look out for and burn there the next time I am faced with this situation.

Horizon is crooked. A little burning inside the windmill to knock down the halo (HDR or Tonemapping effect?) would eliminate the competition for attention and let that sky really jump out.

BTW - I was just kidding about the horizon. Figured you probably checked that a couple of times. :-)

This has a real Australian feel to it (no matter where it was taken). Lovely!
