Balazs Toth, Disappearing Icon (Landscape 2019)

The Aussie icon that dotted the Australian landscape and make a memorable sight when silhouetted against the glowing red outback sunset is disappearing from paddocks as the technology advances. I spotted this icon at night on my way to Jurien bay in the Shire of Gingin. I pulled over the car and got out to take some pictures. As I was waiting for the Milky Way to align vertically with the windmill, some clouds rolled in with high speed. I was hoping to capture the core of the Milky way before the clouds completely cover it. Some clouds definitely rolled in, but I like how the clouds contribute to the scene at the end.
