Ghost Riders in a Tropical Sky

View On Black And view Large please :)

 

This is a 5 pic bracketed HDR, Tripod used. ( 2 stop bracket)

Sadly a huge buildup of threatening Clouds in the late afternoon that came to nothing as usual. No rain :( The Palms in the foreground are the wonderful Foxtail Palm (Wodyetia bifurcata) My favourite palm and the only one in the world named after an Australian Aborigine.
