I was just saying the other day how the summer skies aren't as fun as winter and then this happened.
I was in the back yard just after sunset and spotted this cloud. It looked like a big bird, or maybe a pteradactyl.

It's a wonderful experience to drive through the vast stretch of coastal drive known as "17-Mile Drive", with many Vista points. This was shot near a point called "Bird Rock"
The sky was so incredible, today - every possible kind of clouds, and every possible kind of colour - and ... the light!!!! No photoshop - just nature.
something very different form my usual kind of shots, but ... cloud catching has been such a fun!
have a nice evening :-)))
Catch the moment: Only for a short time a few sun beams breaked through the grey clouds and illuminated the old tree trunk on the water

Stumbled across this moody picture from my visit to Scotland that I haven't shared yet.
I am currently in Germany for a couple of weeks to catch a break from the scorching summer heat in Tokyo. Perfect time to go through some old photos :)
I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes. ~e.e. cummings
I was looking at a sunset on the other side, then I turned around and saw these clouds.

Sunset from Starcross, Devon, England. Not had many evenings like this recently - mostly grey, cold and wet! [More-or-less as taken.]
A View From Skyline Drive, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia
3 bracket shots - merged and lightly tonemapped in Photomatix Pro
It's pretty cool to be above clouds - while on foot instead of in a plane. Once again, another storm system entered the Shenandoah Valley. Heavy rains fell for a few days due to the remnants of Tropical Depression Lee and produced this spectacular sight yesterday morning. The best 'fog ocean' I've seen at SNP since April of this year. But then again, it only happens a few times each year.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An excerpt from the Guide To SNP and Skyline Drive:
To a large extent, the mountain causes fog. Moving air masses must rise to get over the mountain. As the air rises, it expands and cools; if the air is moist, cooling may cause moisture to precipitate as tiny droplets, and produce the clouds that we call fog.
Half a dozen times a year, an atmospheric inversion may produce a strange effect: fog lies like a soft white blanket on the Shenandoah Valley and the Piedmont, while the mountaintop is clear. Then you can look down on a "fog ocean," with the lower peaks rising above it like islands.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To truly appreciate the magnitude of a fog system like this is to see it firsthand. I finally captured some video footage to go along with my post (see link below). Sometimes photos don't do justice - check out the video clip if you have a spare minute.
THANKS FOR VIEWING!
