Denver, Colorado.

Clouds came floating in my life, not to usher rain or storm but to add color to my sunset sky.

Taken at Delamont Country Park looking out over Strangford Lough with a Nikon D80 and a Sigma 10-20mm lens (at 20mm). Should be viewed in large to see it in the best detail.

I will make a BW version of this and see which one suits the land better.

2013-03-20 - A very special light: sunlight. It allows us to take so many different pictures!

Taken for my 365 project and for Our Daily Challenge: Let There Be Light.

Through the clouds

These are the highest clouds on earth, alt: 250,000 to 280,000 ft (47 to 53 miles)

This was not done in black and white - everything just turned this dark as the storm came in.

This picture was taken in West Multnomah County, Oregon.

Aerial photography seems to be all the rage these days. Here are a few of mine from a recent trip.

Some folks are finding this pic via /Interesting/Explore... mystery!

The rainbow effect was much stronger live - but you can see a bit. Another unusual cloud formation, this time captured in Portland on the way home from Lake Oswego after work. At first, I thought I was my location that was creating the rainbow, but as I kept driving it was apparent that it was all about sun angle with this seemingly flat, high cloud. I've seen some great clouds, sunsets, and sunrises since I moved to Portland - it's great having weather again after so many years in SoCal.

Just clouds with the sun hidden behind them.

I was astonished to see this large. It looked like the clouds were part of a huge fireball.

#381 in Explore ... thanks!

Ahangama beach, Sri Lanka. For the two nights we were there crazy cloud formations would appear late in the afternoon bringing short lived storms that would sweep in. It made for poor sunsets but if you like clouds then you would have loved it!

You can also see the iconic stilt fishermen hanging onto their sticks.

UPDATE: I entered this into round 174 of the Telegraph's Big Picture comp. I didn't win but I did make it into the top 21 entries for the week!

Breaking clouds viewed from Round Bald, Roan Highlands.

When me and fellow photographer R. Keith Clontz first made our way up to Round Bald the mountain was soaked in fog and everything covered in rime ice, which was a very cool scene in itself. Shortly after sunrise the high winds started clearing the fog from atop the mountain, every now and then you would catch a break and be able to see through to the distant mountain ridges which is what I was trying to capture here.

Half this image already existed in the clouds, all it required was a little cropping, mirroring and increased contrast to complete it.

yeh, it's in there.
