This photo will be familiar to you, so no need to comment.

Jim Baines and I collaborated on this image about a year ago. Jim had shot the beautiful windmill scene on his way to a wedding shoot in Leander, Texas. But the sky was cloudless and solid blue, and he wasn't happy with it.
------
On my morning drive, in late Autumn, the dappled sunrise sky over the New Jersey Turnpike had been spectacular. But a sky with no scene beneath it does not hold much visual interest. A "perfect" Union was conceived that day.
---------
After I swapped the skies, Jim added the final touch -— the intentionally oversized vulture. The picture was complete.

We’re both exceedingly proud of this image, and BP-ers have been supportive in their remarks. But…

So it is being re-submitted in October’s Monthly Theme:
Perfect Union of West and East.
