One afternoon, I went to the shooting spot to take photos of the sunset, but unfortunately the sky was covered with clouds. After waiting for a while, the clouds began to clear up and the light of the sun began to leak from there. Spots of light appeared on the sea surface as if it were lit up by a spotlight. That was a spectacular scenery.
The colorful facades of Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s Old Town, shine even on a winter’s day. Snow blankets the square like a silent carpet, while dark clouds gather above the city. The architecture speaks of centuries of history—of merchants, sailors, and royal decrees. The warm hues of the buildings, from deep red to bright yellow, contrast beautifully with the cold surroundings, giving the scene an almost fairytale-like charm.
My 2 goals this year-to master dripping water & lightning!!! bumped up the midtone contrast on this one as the sky wasn't quite as dark as i would have liked. also this was more of a lightning burst than the lightining rod i had wanted.
sorry comments havent been more exciting/plentiful-i havent been feeling well-dr's appointment tomorrow so bear with me!
also, if any of you have any suggestions/advice as to how to capture lightning, it would be greatly appreciated! havent quite figured out shutter speed yet.
oh, by the way, tried to crop several ways, this looked best to me. gave it more depth with contrast of dark street in foreground & dark sky to right-can you tell I've been reading alot of photography books lately!
Thank you to everybody that views, comments and for favouring my images. Always greatly appreciated.

Noctilucent clouds, or night shining clouds, are tenuous cloud-like phenomena in the upper atmosphere of Earth. They consist of ice crystals and are only visible during astronomical twilight. Noctilucent roughly means "night shining" in Latin. They are most often observed during the summer months from latitudes between 50° and 70° north and south of the Equator. They are visible only during local summer months and when the Sun is below the observer's horizon, but while the clouds are still in sunlight. Recent studies suggests that increased atmospheric methane emissions produce additional water vapor once the methane molecules reach the mesosphere - creating, or reinforcing existing noctilucent clouds.
They are the highest clouds in Earth's atmosphere, located in the mesosphere at altitudes of around 76 to 85 km. They are too faint to be seen in daylight, and are visible only when illuminated by sunlight from below the horizon while the lower layers of the atmosphere are in Earth's shadow (Wikipedia).

« L’horloge de la plage du Centenaire, véritable icône de la digue-promenade, est un symbole emblématique du front de mer de Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, sur la majestueuse Côte d’Opale. Érigée dans les années 1930 dans le pur style Art Déco, cette élégante horloge à quatre faces domine la vaste plage de sable fin et rythme depuis près d’un siècle les promenades chics le long de la Manche. Vestige de l’âge d’or de la station balnéaire fréquentée par l’élite parisienne et britannique, elle incarne l’élégance intemporelle du Touquet et défie les éléments avec une présence majestueuse, surtout sous un ciel orageux dramatique. Un incontournable du patrimoine balnéaire nordique ! »
“The Centenaire Beach Clock, the iconic landmark of the seafront promenade, is an emblematic symbol of the waterfront in Le Touquet-Paris-Plage, on the magnificent Opal Coast. Erected in the 1930s in pure Art Deco style, this elegant four-faced clock towers over the vast expanse of fine sandy beach and has marked time for nearly a century along the chic walks beside the English Channel. A remnant of the golden age of this upscale seaside resort frequented by Parisian and British high society, it embodies the timeless elegance of Le Touquet and stands defiantly against the elements with majestic presence – especially dramatic under a stormy sky. A must-see piece of northern French coastal heritage!”
A majestic landscape unfolds with rolling hills and stately mountains, bathed in an ethereal stream of light piercing through a cloudy sky.
