this just happened... I looked out the window of my house, saw the clouds, hauled ass to the beach and snapped this moment. I wish I was there about 15 minutes earlier and had my wide angle lens on me!

Sorry for the back to back sunset postings... but when you live in a town like this, what can you expect?

The fires raging in southern Georgia have created their own clouds. Here they are seen from above.

One of Iizuka's secret, hidden treasures is Kubushiro Dam. It is only 5 or 6 km from the downtown buy possible the quietest most relaxing places in Kyushu.

Surrounded by trees not a sound from the city or roads is able to penetrate into the reservoir area. Not only that, hardly anybody goes there so it is very clean and peaceful; a great place to take a book and relax. One of my favorite places

Clouds after sunset

In a field last week, with birds wheeling all around - the mowing tractor had disturbed them...

Cloud phenomena... it's the airplanes.

This photo was taken on the 3th of Dec. 2007 in Friesland (NL).

One of my favorites taken with my first digital camera (Olympus Camedia 310Z ).

This picture has a great symbolic value for me and my wife

Saw these on the trailing edge of a severe thunderstorm that came through the area. Deliberately didn't crop the foreground so as to give size perspective.

Clouds are fascinating to me. I never tire of taking pictures of them.

Oh those blue skies are very nice

but if you stop to think twice,

by clouds they are enhanced

and they keep us all entranced.

When fascination takes root

photographs we must shoot,

and with camera in hand

we will wander the land.

When we start to obsess

of cloudscapes to possess,

life takes on a new meaning

and there’s no time for cleaning!

The weather may be foul or fair

but there’ll still be clouds up there,

and we can take photo’s galore

then stop, to take just one more.

Of our collections we are proud

especially that elusive cloud,

and to catch an optical effect

can really make our day perfect.

Big sky over a corn field in Durango, Texas.

Clouds having a nice elongated shape with a bit of land, taken while I was walking, to test my new polarizing filter.

I don't know what kind of clouds these are that I shot on yesterday morning's walk, but they presaged much needed rain.

EDIT: Someone in the Cloud Appreciation Society on Facebook says these are altocumulus with perhaps some mammatus in the lower right.

I invite you to stroll through My Galleries.

Beautiful clouds and lightning that struck so close the power lines buzzed above me (see blurry pictures).
