Marking time.....
This photo was taken on my birthday, every year I book this day as holiday, This year was very different as it landed on the same day as my father-in-laws funeral. Bitter joy and bitter sadness.
This picture was taken on Anglesey in North Wales.

Hi palegirl,
Very nice photo, good composition, great colour, but the only thing would say the building in the background seems a little too white and is the first thing that hits me first.
Cheers Rod.
palegirl replied
Hi Rod, yes looking at it I think you are right. I shall have a go are darkening it down a bit.
Jack McCabe
Sorry about your loss, but happy birthday!
The photo has a dramatic dynamic range! The clouds pose a threat above in contrast to the gently white ground cover below and the breath taking windmill!
palegirl replied
Thank you for your comments Jack : ) The weather really did create the dramatic conditions with the wind but it was the storm clouds really pushed the buttons.
Dave Warren
Stunning!
palegirl replied
Thank you Dave

I like the square cropping of the shot, and obviously the content, Birthday wishes also, sorry that it came at a black moment.

Wow what a stunning windmill & beautifully captured, love the dark sky against the white windmill. Great composition, well done
palegirl replied
Thank you Hawker, the weather moved fast as a storm passed over It always amazes me….Took as many pictures as I could with crossed fingers.

Nice image. Love that sky and the flowers in the foreground matching the windmill!
palegirl replied
Thanks Grim, grey now there’s a colour…! I can’t help it but grey means something is about to happen (hopefully a ray of sunshine)

Paul Pichugin

Laura Garnett
I have to say that I don’t think that there is anything wrong with this shot/coloring/brightness…its very captivating and I’d love to be there now standing among the flowers watching the windmill with the stormy looking clouds in the background. Awesome one!!!!!!!!!!
Mark Coward
I can smell that storm brewing. I haven’t been to Anglesey for years. This shot makes me want to return.
palegirl replied
Hey Mark, for a small island Anglesey has it all! I gladly watched a storm cloud go around us at Bull Bay but here we chased it to this lovely Windmill. Don’t miss out..
stephenknowles
This is a great shot, I like the white of the flowers against the other colours with the windmill. Beautiful capture.
palegirl replied
Thanks Stephen, the storm was coming in pretty fast but there was still this delightfull light that lit the windmill up a real treat!
