Lightshow at the windmill (HDR)

Stephan Neven has added a photo to the pool:

Lightshow at the windmill (HDR)

The windmill Bonrepas seen from a different angle. Normally, one cannot come on this side of the mill, as there is water between the road and the closed meadow. But thanks to the ice, you can cross the water and make this picture.

This is just before sunrise, at around 8.10 AM. I've never witnessed a sky that is this red and pink. Also evening skies tend to be red, but never this red. It was an overcast morning above me, but at the horizon it was opening up, giving this spectacular lightshow. Perhaps the cold temperatures of the night (-8 degrees Celsius), helped creating the red sky.

This HDR photo is composed of three shots, with the most natural conversion that is possible. No color correction was done, but the reason I chose HDR was because the mill itself was really dark on the original and the sky was a bit too light compared to the real circumstances.
