Very wonderful & beautiful photo. Looks like you may be getting some smoke from the fires, in this area.
Likely from the Little Bear Fire in Ruidoso NM.

Nice shot! I have lived in and/or traveled thru Texas a lot in the last 50+ years and seen a lot of windmills across the state still in use. They were "green energy" before it was *cool*. I've heard them called the other state *Flower*. 10+

In addition to mentioning that I love your photos, I'd also like you to know that, thanks to your recommendation, I've ordered a copy of the book, "Ghosts In The Wilderness." Thank you so much for introducing me to this gem of a book! Also, I'm looking at the website you recommended -- some majestic images there, different from yours, but not any better! God bless you!

About docshovel39
docshovel39 Hello , my name is Tim . I live in the small farming community of Ropesville , Texas with my wife and photo partner Sherry . I got involved with photography because of my older brother Steve - a fantastic photographer who lives outside of Seattle , WA . My favorite work , apart from his , is a terrific book entitled " Ghosts in the Wilderness " by Tony and Eva Worobiec . It captures the remains of small , abandoned rural communities across the Midwest , much of it shot in black and white . I also have become a fan of photographer Jim McGuire . His black and white shots ( nashvilleportraits.com) are amazing . Thank you for your comments and have a GREAT day !
