Description
I was waiting for the right conditions of the windmill to be facing East and the clouds on the horizon to get a nice sunset with the silhouette of the windmill. While I was eating dinner and watching the football game I almost forgot the sunset. I had to rush down to the windmill to get this Southwest sunset.

Simply beautiful with a beautifully simple concept and composition. I love the use of light and color to enhance the silhouette.

Love this! Windmills are a favorite from childhood but most have disappeared from the rural area of my youth. LF

Robert! This is a wonderful and stunning capture of a favorite of mine, windmills. The sunset is the icing on the cake, because I love that time of day, timing is everything with a sunset as you know. They fade and change so quickly! Well done!! 💕Janet

A marvellous shot Robert. During a recent trip to the Palouse, I was struck by just how many of these old-fashioned windmills have disappeared or in disrepair. A keeper image for sure. L/F

Thanks so much for the visit and comment along with the LF!! I sure agree with you about them disappearing.
