The afternoon sun hides behind clouds. Photo taken in spring 2014.
Admittedly, this image has undergone some "reality enhancement" in Lightroom and Photoshop, but I think that this version better describes my memory of that moment than the original photo.
The high dynamic range of the Nikon D800 made it possible to enhance the shady regions, which otherwise would have been only a silhouette. The difference between the sky and the building is about 5 f-stops, which traditionally would have required HDR and tonal mapping.
The sun rays, which I remember vividly, were barely visible in the original photo, so I enhanced them in Photoshop using a radial blur on a separate layer.
The afternoon heat on a hot and humid August day, set off some great cloud towers. This one grew high into the blueness of the sky, then, just as quickly as it grew tall, it collapsed and within a few minutes was nothing more than a memory.....

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”
― Haruki Murakami
Smile at the sky
It’s so pretty
It sets me free
When I’m sad
I go outside
When I’m happy
I go outside
A smile emerges on my face
So far and wide
Just like the sky
The smiling sky whom I smile back to
Smile at the sky

I headed out earlier tonight hoping to capture something interesting in the clouds and I think I did!

After my shot of "The Bean" from the other day proved to be quite popular, I went into my archives and found this shot I did last summer of the sculpture on a partly cloudy day.

This was supposed to be an aurora-watching session on a beach near Narvik, but, after a hint of clearing, the cloud and snow moved in again.
Most of the light in this long exposure is from Narvik, but I've used a tungsten light balance so it looks more natural. The blue light at lower left is from a fellow traveller's LED headtorch.
My first ever "cloudscape" I never seem to have my camera on me at the right time but there's some cracking Cumulus clouds been building all afternoon so I think I might venture out and see they light up opposite tonights setting sun
I was on my way out to do errands this afternoon when I saw the sky over Lake Tahoe. I had to go back to get my camera and try to capture some of the dramatic thunderheads that were developing all around the lake. This view is to the southeast toward Heavenly Valley ski resort and Nevada. A bit of snow remains on the tops of the highest peaks in the middle of July.

7th visit to Raigad on Shivarajyabhishek din (Coranation anniversary of King Shivaji)
रायगड, तिथला राजमहाल, दफ्तर-कचेर्यांच्या इमारती, राज्याभिषेक ज्या राजदरबाराने अनुभवला ती जागा, नगारखाना, होळीचा माळ, सिंहासनाधीश पुतळा, तिथून दिसणारा सुर्यास्त, गंगासागर-कुशावर्त तलाव, सातमजली मनोरे, जगदीश्वर मंदिर, शिवसमाधी आणि खाली पाचाडला राजमाता आऊसाहेबांची समाधी यांचे आम्हां दुर्गभटक्यांच्या मनात एक चित्र कायम कोरलेले असते. अखंड महाराष्ट्राने नव्हे मानवजातीने नतमस्तक व्हावे अशी ही जाणत्या राजाचा पदस्पर्श लाभलेली पावन भूमी. मराठी इतिहासाच्या कलशारोहणाचा सुवर्ण साक्षीदार. नाव घेताच आता जाऊन भेटून यावे की काय अशी मनाची अवस्था....
