Dark Shadows in the Daylight
Thickening, almost brooding clouds, perhaps working toward becoming a storm, form over vast icefields just beyond the visible peaks and begin to fill the skies over Bow Lake, in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada.
Ever since I was a kid, I've been a little fascinated with how the onrushing sweep of shadows before an approaching cloud front affects our human moods. When with a group that moments earlier was chatting away or playing cheerily, the effect often is palpable as almost everyone quickly displays heightened alertness--in this day and age mostly just to try to determine if it's about to storm severely, but still there's something in peoples' looks that has a hint of evolutionary vestige from more fearful times.
I exposed this shot so as to accentuate the mood I was feeling as the clouds began to overtake the sun here, and judging my own shots as I do on whether they take me back to the feeling I had when I was there, this one works for me.
Thanks for viewing!
