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.
This photo was taken on March 12, 2005.

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!
Luis Montemayor (69 months ago | reply)
This its so great! Should be on the front page of explore, congratulations!

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.
