Frías es un municipio y ciudad de España, al norte de la provincia de Burgos, comunidad autónoma de Castilla y León. La ciudad es la cabecera del municipio, enmarcado en la comarca de Las Merindades, partido judicial de Villarcayo.
Sobre el cerro de La Muela, y cercana al ancho y caudaloso río Ebro, se constituyó un enclave estratégico de paso de dicho río, desde la época romana y sobre todo en época medieval, que unía la costa cantábrica y la meseta, dando lugar a la notable prosperidad de Frías y de su conjunto monumental.
Mantiene una estructura urbana medieval que corona el castillo de los Velasco y la iglesia de San Vicente. Los edificios mantienen un sistema constructivo en el que van adosándose entre sí. La solana del piso superior emplea toba y entramado de madera.
Junto a los municipios de Oña y Poza de la Sal conforma la mancomunidad Raíces de Castilla

The spotted hyena is a very social animal; however, its social system is openly competitive rather than cooperative, with access to kills and mating opportunities depending on the ability to dominate other clan-members. Females provide only for their own cubs rather than assist each other, and males take no part in rearing cubs. Spotted hyena society is matriarchal; females are larger than males, and dominate them. Spotted hyenas are scavengers and often dine on the leftovers of other predators. But they are also skilled hunters that will take down wildebeest or antelope.

The Torne, also known as the Tornio (Finnish: Tornionjoki, Swedish: Torne älv, Torneälven, Northern Sami: Duortneseatnu, Meänkieli: Tornionväylä), is a river in northern Sweden and Finland. For approximately half of its length it contains the border between these two countries. It rises at Lake Torne (Swedish: Torneträsk) near the border with Norway and flows generally southeast for a distance of 522 kilometres into the Gulf of Bothnia. It is the largest river in Norrbotten both by length and by watershed area.

Taken on December, 10th / 2017 in Gamboa, Panama.
Captured in: North Topsail Beach, NC.
Pictured here is a view of a large (and rather threatening) cumulonimbus cloud as it loomed over North Topsail Beach, NC.
It ultimately became part of a severe thunderstorm cell, complete with heavy wind & rain, and a fair amount of cloud to ground lightning.
I managed to capture this shot before the weather turned too nasty. My intent was to snap a few shots prior to the storm, as I had no interest in being struck by lightning on the beach! :{

Some notes on this image:
I decided to make some processing changes to one of my favorite shots - There's a Storm a Brewin'. I decided to scrap the original version, and start the HDR & Photoshop processing over from scratch. I wasn't sure the best way to represent the changes with regard to my photostream, but decided to create a separate post instead of just replacing the old image.
I've been trying to fine tune my processing lately.. Looking to strike a better balance between dramatic HDR features, and maintaining a somewhat more natural overall look.
The original image seemed too over processed (at least to me), and way over-sharpened. The version you see now is more in line with how I believe the image should look.
Hope you like the new version... To compare, here's a link to the original image:

"There's a Storm a Brewin' (Redux)" is an HDR image constructed from 3 bracketed shots - 2 stop differential between each image.
The image was processed w/ ACR, Photomatix, and finished in Photoshop (includes the use of Topaz Labs plugins -- Adjust, Clarity, Clean, Denoise, Detail, Glow, Impression, and LensFX).
