Gumbo’s Pic of the Day, August 6, 2015: Windmills in the Sunset

Wind turbines in a Montana sunsetRecently my wife and I traveled across Montana by car.  It’s a large state with some amazing mountain ranges and lots of wide open plains — the “Big Sky” country the state is known for.  The sun was beginning to set when I spotted a group of wind turbines in the distance, noting the highway cut between them.  I thought they might make interesting points of contrast in the light of the setting sun.

 

I pulled off the road and grabbed my DSLR camera, working my way through the ditch to avoid powerlines and fences in my images.  It was surprisingly cool and windy, but I was pleased with the results.
