Spanish awakenings

Treklens:
We are flying in Spain ..Andalucia over the
**The Sierra Nevada**
meaning "snowy range" in Spanish,it is a mountain range in the region of Andalusia in Spain.

Altitude: 7 000 meters (aprox 22 000 feet) and slowly descending for Malaga airport.

Date: September 23 Time of this photo taken: 7.45 am

It is always quite an ordeal making photo's true the small windows, even with my 70- 300 Do USM Canon lens
.. than on max zoom 'shooting down ' out of hand..
and with the help of my Photo Shop CS 3 I ended up like this.
Morning clouds(left) and flairs of fog (right) but the windmills where clearly visible...

Spanish Awakenings Folks

Godaften John
Hvordan gĺr det? Er alt OK.
Great POV, nice light, showing some alternative power.
The best wishes.
Jens.

Beautiful capture here of morning light and misty ambience. Quite an ethereal kind of shot, especially with the way the mist/clouds take over the upper part of the frame.
This would have worked well if you composed it with the wind-farm more towards the lower right, too, allowing more of that cloud bank to dominate the photo.
Lovely shot
Rew

good morning view, you manage to capture it well with your 70-300 mm lens.beautiful image.

Hee die John,
Looks a bit like the Chinese Wall, but with windmills. ;-)
Great overview of this landscape, with growing clouds in the background !!
Knap dat je dit er uit hebt gekregen vanuit de losse hand.
greetings,
Joop!

Sierra Nevada, not really snowy - windmills like this are becoming a common sight now, they dot the landscape everywhere. I can feel the updraft you must have experienced right there!

Hi John

Great view you have captured with thick clouds and great warm light coming through, windmills are idle at 1/40s. From a high window, the blur and metering is still good. Well done. TFS

John heel mooi joh.
Een sterk 'zoempje' naar beneden ? Toe maar. :-)
Wat zo mooi tot uitdrukking komt is het 'ontwaken' zoals
je ook in de koptekst aanhaalt. Ennn.. bijna 30 000 puntjes

Ihmmm, I know how hard is to take pictures trough the airplane window, but you did here a good job. It's a wonderful panorama with those windmills and the clouds over the hills.
In my gallery you can see two picture from the airplane :).
Tack sĺ mycket!

Hi bro, well done considering that it is shot in the plane. You were flying quite low at this point.

I like the rolling hils and the windmills farm.

Take care, sis :)

Hallo John.
Mooie en aparte foto vanachter het raampje vandaan.
Weinig sneeuw nog op de Siera Nevada.
Had jij de piloot gevraagt om zo laag er over te vliegen?
Lijkt mij meer op 7000 feet hoogte.
Groetjes van Jan

WOW JOHN!! A great shot, excellent view! I love the clouds along the ridgeline! Very nice framing! Really super duper Johnny!

Beautiful place, love the way it is being displayed.
It is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work. We must feel and be affected by it. Each of your work touch and motivates me to reach the way you visualize and capture.

Hi John,
Spanish windmills . . . must have seemed a bit strange and foreign-looking to a Dutchman.
Beautiful composition and POV .. . I love how the clouds seem to be racing to cover the mountains, but you caught the shot just in time.

Paysage spécial avec ces petits moulins ŕ vent sur la cręte montagneuse!
Une bien belle lumičre et un remarquable point de vue.
Ici, ce n'est pas la tęte qu'on a dans les nuages mais presque les pieds.
Super!

Another excellent shot from a plane John. I tried when I went to New Zealand but we must have been flying over the Southern Alps at the time, all I could see was icicles on the window. Good colour and fine detail especially in the clouds. TFS,

Good joke too John :)

Hi John

A superb, downward pov with excellent repetition of the wind turbines. Good colour sharpness & framing. Well done!

I guess you feel at home when you spot the windmills!
Interesting light and a fine composition...
The low clouds adds a special element to the atmosphere!

Splendid scene with low clouds and the great morning light.

The ribbon of earth lit with the morning sun along this line of windmills and at the crest of the mountains is a wonderful sight, especially from this POV! The blanket of fog is impressive, and I love the shapes of the land formations. Amazing and magnificent!

Lovely lighting on the hills, good timing. The hills around New Zealand a becoming dotted with these machines. A good way to generate power for free, we have NO shortage of wind.
