I think there must have been a light haze/fog during part of the exposure and the turbine poles cast a shadow on it creating the floating shadows and the shadow fades toward the ground cause the fog was less dense there so less to shadow.

All you need is an ND filter (which is basically photographic equivalent of non-polarized sunglasses) that allows you to shoot long-exposures during the day without overexposing the sensor.

It looks unreal because just like any other long-exposure photo, you can't see such effect with the naked eye, and additionally, people are mostly only used to long-exposure photos taken after dark (where you don't need a darkening filter because there's not enough light already).

So while you can sort of argue that the photo is fake (but that's a very slippery slope because no photo perfectly captures reality, not to mention neither do our eyes and brains), it is absolutely possible to shoot this (both on film and digital cameras) without any post-processing.

The rectangle shadow is from the "box" that holds the blades. The shadow is from the main body, not from the pretty thin blades. Look at the farther turbines, some of them either did not rotate much or at least rotated in synchrony with each capture, so you can see their relative size and width.
