The Golden Promise of Wind - a photo on Flickriver

Please View Large On Black or White

Note in the large view how the grass around the setting sun looks like solar flares. ;-)

This is from one of the newest wind power projects in Colorado out at Pawnee National Grassland taken right from the buttes through my trusty Nikon 80-200 2.8 AFD. I am continually amazed at how well it handles difficult shooting conditions such as this. Very little post-processing, but I did use a Hoya Intensifier filter on the lens.
