This was taken around midnight with a new moon on a sheep farm in the heart of the Karoo desert in South Africa. The Karoo, the Kalahari and the Namib are THE spots in Southern Africa for astrophotography...with a new moon the stars actually cast shadows.
Windmills are characteristic of farms in this area, and my portfolio is seriously lacking with some shots of these structures. The flaring in the stars is the result of a mist cloud that was moving overhead. Within 10 minutes of this image being taken the stars were not even visible anymore (it was pretty cold!).
