This is from three different exposures of the windmills near Albany, Australia. Not really the best subjects for an HDR photo, but oh well.

The pastel colours and soft, flowing shapes in this Envisat radar image of the Tanezrouft Basin in the Algerian Sahara contradict the harshness of the terrain that has led to it being commonly referred to as the ‘Land of Terror’.
Stone and pebbles make up most of the Sahara surface in Northern Africa. Erosion – first by water, now by wind – has created this landscape of hills, basins, steep canyon walls, stone plateaus and multi-storey sand dunes.
The concentric loop patterns of the sedimentary rock are exposed by wind erosion, much like the grain of wood after sanding.
Radar images reveal surface roughness – the rougher the surface, the brighter it appears. Hence, darker areas represent softer rock with a sandy or small-stoned surface.
Many steep canyon walls rising 250–500 m tower above the surrounding arid terrain. In this image, very low cliffs and faults appear bright.
This image was created by combining three Envisat radar passes (23 March 2009, 1 June 2009 and 14 September 2009) over the same area. The colours result from changes in the surface between acquisitions.

On Interstate 65 in White County, Indiana. There are a bunch of wind turbines between the county's southern border and the exit for US 231 about 10 miles northwest.
Wish I'd had a ND filter to blur the blades with a longer exposure.
Fenwick Moor the largest windfarm in Europe.
Mango tree casualties of today's gusty winds, with another box worth waiting to be picked up. Still a lot in the tree; it surely would have been a banner year in calmer conditions. Time to test new recipes for very green papaya and mango.
The wind blew across the still canal water and made these patterns with small waves. I noticed them as I sat still for a few minutes.
Sometimes you have to be still to notice the subtle beauty in the scenes around us.
These 3 new turbines have just been completed north of Bristol. Their position isn't ideal for winter sunset so I might stop off if passing at sunrise
Wind Cave, Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota, USA.
---quotation from en.wikipedia.org:---
Wind Cave National Park is a United States national park 10 miles (16 km) north of the town of Hot Springs in western South Dakota. Established in 1903 by President Theodore Roosevelt, it was the seventh U.S. National Park and the first cave to be designated a national park anywhere in the world. The cave is notable for its displays of the calcite formation known as boxwork. Approximately 95 percent of the world's discovered boxwork formations are found in Wind Cave. Wind Cave is also known for its frostwork. The cave is also considered a three-dimensional maze cave, recognized as the densest (most passage volume per cubic mile) cave system in the world. The cave is currently the sixth-longest in the world with 139.15 miles (223.94 km) of explored cave passageways, with an average of four new miles of cave being discovered each year. Above ground, the park includes the largest remaining natural mixed-grass prairie in the United States.
