Another perfect end to the day!! The Master of all painters places his design in the sky and I am merely there to record the moment!! Photo taken at El Franco Lee Park!
Some ask why we have so many scenes such as this in the sky and I suspect that it has to do with our proximity to the Gulf Coast and the way the moisture flows in off of the Gulf of Mexico!! Large thunderstorms build up from that flow and it is caused by the heating during the middle of the day. By the end of the day those storms tend to dissipate and are blown apart by the upper level winds!! If they are in the right place the setting sun playing on the surface of those clouds can offer up some very colorful moments!!

Hope everyone has a happy new year and an amazing 2020 ♥
I tried something really different and challenging for this one, since I wanted to do another couples photo, and I wanted to use two new avis that I made (both on my main account). So this one took a lot of patience and experimenting to both manage to take a photo of each avi in their respective position in the couples pose, as well as mesh the two images together to get something I was happy with. Overall, as much work as this one was, I'm pretty happy with the outcome. :)
Starting points for both avis (in case you're curious!):

A brilliant bolt of lighting, emanating from the ominous dark clouds of a severe thunderstorm, strikes a field near Olustee, Oklahoma. The unusual green color of the clouds is due to hail inside the storm.

When the sky is on fire, which was the case this evening, it can be harder to stay focused in search of the small scenes. I did point the camera briefly at the wide-open sky yet time was mainly spent in search of treasures in the sand like these.
I was thrilled when about 4 years back when my good friend David Cobb tossed out the idea to me of an abstract-focused workshop. I thought it sounded great as someone that really enjoys searching out those scenes. I was happy to co-lead it with him which we did for a couple of years up before 2020 slowed things down.
These are the kind of scenes I was pointing out to others as we either starred straight down like a beachcomber or were panning the camera to the open sea in hopes of capturing something different. The purpose was to go to a beach that offered nothing in the way of dramatic scenery. It was simply a sandy cliff down to an endless beach of sand in both directions with no objects like sea stacks, rocks, or logs. All of that and being off-season, we pretty much had the place to ourselves to explore and create.
"Actually I think Art lies in both directions - the broad strokes, big picture but on the other hand the minute examination of the apparently mundane. Seeing the whole world in a grain of sand, that kind of thing." - Peter Hammill

We were actually heading back when Priscilla exclaimed excitedly that we should stop at the next available spot. This was our fifth night and we had agree upon that we wouldn't stop the car to shoot the aurora if it was weak, so I knew it must be something huge for her to ask me to pull over.
Thankfully, we managed to find an empty jetty to view the amazing show and it was the best display from our trip!
We probably would not have caught this had our car not crashed into the ditch, causing us to wait for an hour in a stranger's cabin for the tractor man to come and save us, and hence delaying our hunt for night. So I guess every cloud has a silver lining!
