Spring Storm

View On Black
This was taken one spring evening as a storm blew over our subdivision right at sunset. I saw this cloud take shape and move, allowing the sunset to color it. I rushed in to get my camera because I was amazed at the way this cloud dwarfed all the huge homes and trees which are seen in the foreground.

Nice capture. You really get a feel for the moment the way the trees are swept by the wind.

Thanks! I've always thought the scene looked rather surreal -- a sky like this can sure make one feel small and vulnerable!

What an extraordinary photo. I couldn't believe it wasn't an illustration from a children's book when I first saw it.

Wonderful photo. I've seen skies like this on occasion, and I agree with LynchburgVirginia that a photo like this lets you know that nature is in control. Nice job on rushing to get your camera and get this shot.
