Thanks a lot to all my DPC friends. After the recent DQ of my first blue ( due to a silly and unnecessary processing mistake, and I am still smoking about it) I am extremely delighted to get my blue with this picture now. (I am holding my breath until my original is being confirmed, but I made sure not to violate any rules.)

On Saturday, the 1st January I noticed on the Dutch weather forecast, that the traditional overcast sky should be clearing briefly and I asked my wife and 2 friends to visit Kinderdijk ( //www.kinderdijk.com/ ) with its old windmills. I was not disappointed. The sun was out for only about 1 hr and luckily I was there to take advantage of it.

Thanks again to all of you and let̢۪s continue to have lots of fun.

This scene has a cool mixture of power/energy in the sky, and calmness of the landscape.

Great photo
On second pass - still a 7 but I am no longer certain of the effective part
