Dunes, Sand Storm. © Copyright 2019 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A sand storm sweeps across layered dunes.
Here I decided to offer a somewhat more subjective view of a sand dunes scene, photographed late in the day during a period of high winds and a sand storm. If you see this as a calm scene... imaging gale winds blowing across from left to right, carrying large volumes of airborne sand, and the distant views obscured by these clouds filling the atmosphere. It was a wild scene, and I was only able to photograph it for a short period of time.
The question of what is "real" in photographs has long intrigued me. There are few cases in which I believe the goal of a photograph might be to present an objectively accurate rendering of the subject. In fact, I believe that it is actually impossible for a photograph to do that — I like to say that, "All photographs lie." Some who feel differently about this, and who hold that photographs should be "real," point to classic photography when suggesting this. However, if any mode of photography is amenable to creative license, it is black and white photography! The ability to produce an expressively subject image in black and white may be unsurpassed. And here I "went there," with a photograph that aspires not to reproduce objective reality but one that hopes to evoke subjective truth.

Probably the last adventure of the year (unless I can get a sneaky one in between xmas and New Year) but what a way to end the year
Driving down a road just after a downpour. Taken with an Olympus 35SP rangefinder camera and Kodak Ultramax 400 film.
We were lucky that the storm didn;t follow us as we were exiting out of Mesa Verde last Monday. We met some snow and wind. That 's about it. The drive down from the mesa reminded me of the scenery in Iceland last year. Seeing the moody storm in front of us could be quite scary yet fascinating. I managed to capture this shot before we descended into the town of Cortez.

A little bit more processed photo, in order to reach cinematic vintage look.

The moment before a storm unleashes it's fury, there is beauty in the interaction of clouds, rain and sun.
About Stormwater & Storm Ponds (from Chestermere's website):
Stormwater is water that flows over land from rainstorms and melting snow. When it rains and snow melts, water flows from our rooftops, driveways, lawns, streets and sidewalks. This water collects dirt, sand, gravel and other pollutants along the way.
The water empties into a storm drain where pipes carry it away to storm ponds. The storm ponds capture and hold this water for a while. This lets the water settle. The sediments and pollutants settle to the bottom of the pond, helping return cleaner water to our rivers and streams.
Our storm ponds are all work and no play – they have an important job to do. They protect the community from flooding and help create cleaner stormwater. Because of changing water levels and poor water quality, they are not for recreation.
The effects of tropical storm Tomas on small craft in Carlisle Bay, Barbdos, West Indies, Saturday October 30, 2010. The sail boat was eventually thrown on to the beach where it remained partially overturned.

Sitting by the river on a warm night. Electrical storm, just big flashes and some lightning. No thunder or rain. There’s a flock of birds lit up in the middle of lightning.
