I took a similar photo with my old point and shoot about 4 months ago. It was ruined by digital noise because the camera couldn't handle sky shots. Since I've gotten my Nikon I've been waiting for the right sky conditions to retake the photo. This morning I glanced up through the sliver of a window I have in the office I work in and shocked my co-workers by grabbing my camera and bolting out the door. It was worth the wait.
Effie...a amazing picture! I like the modiness in background and the poles seems grow up from the darkness, like spears. One simbolic battle between the Sky and Earth.
