It is a composite Blaizer. The sky and sunset are from one set of photos and the windmill from another I took further up north.

Judy Olson
Any room here for my comment LOL? Looking at this image, It’s just like being there! Very powerful. It is raining here, wish we could distribute the weather more equally so everyone could get what they need.
RoughDiamond replied
Hey Judy :) ... plenty of room for you! It would be lovely if the world was balanced :)x
LindaR
Fabulous shot ~ colors and content both ~ as if the windmill is moving the clouds to show the colored moon in its wake…I hope you have had some relief since this photo xx
RoughDiamond replied
Nothing yet Linda. We’re expecting a storm tonight and the clouds are gathering. I can smell the rain but it’s not yet hit the ground. Here’s hoping. I’m using the recycled washing water for the plants.
