Milky Way and Old Decaying Windmill
Nice vibrant Milky Way core over behind an old decaying windmill in the mountains of San Diego County.
Shot on private land - with the owner's permission - on Palomar Mountain.
Shot with a Canon EOS R and Canon 15-35mm RF lens. Top of the windmill illuminated via a Nichia 219BT LED light.
Windmills such as this one were once used to pump water from wells, ponds, or streams. Some windmills like this are still in used today, though most have been replaced by electric well pumps or the use of city water.
