Silhouette of the old wooden windmill was beautiful against the wonderful sky. The light was fading and the sky had darkened. The cloud formation looked dramatic. The water behind the windmill shimmered in the mellow light. I composed the shot with the windmill on left side of the frame. Click here to see the photo on my photostream in Flickr,
