Aermotor 802 Windmill
This is a Model 802 (New) Mfg. 1998 - present in San Angelo, Texas
The Model 802 old models were mfg. by Fabrica de Implementos Agricolas, S.A., Buenos Aires, Argentina from 1986 - 1998

This photo was captured in Leander, Texas, while on my way to shoot a wedding ...the turkey vulture was soaring over Copperas Cove, Texas. The sky that day really didn't do justice to the scene; but Michelle Alton had shown me one of the new additions to her cloud collection that she liked very much. We got the idea to do a "best of" composite using the New Jersey early morning Autumn sky background to set off the wind mill and vulture. Voila!

  Wow Jim! The added sky really made this an awesome image. I have a folder of skies and don't think I have even used any yet, this makes me think I better at least try!

Beautiful.....
