Default Stormy Skies

We took a ride up to the Mountains yesterday. It ended up being a very stormy and rainy day. Took a few shots in between the rain. My laptop monitor is still messed up, so not sure that I tweaked these so that the colors are good or not, but they looked ok on my end lol

The sky on the first shot is so surreal. Lovely color and composition!

Thanks Jake. No, we didn't get wet til we came home and went out for our bike ride. The sky just opend up about half way through it. At that point there is no easy or quicker way home. My daughter was cracking up at us.

A day in the mountains is always good, rain or shine! All 3 are excellent and I love the touch of color in the sky in the first one. The wife and I will be making a trip to the mountains soon, so maybe I can show you the Southern end of the Appalachains.

Well worth the trip Susan, three pictures capturing the mood of the moment and some fantastic skies, although I particularly like the bench picture.

Lovely shots. What a rare combo on #3, gray skies and bright green vegetation. You can clearly see how the light is shining through at the bottom half (tree trunk) - very cool!

You are right about that. We had a good time just riding around and checking things out. I can't wait to see the pics from your end of the Appalachain Trail.

Thank You Beach. That bench was just screaming to be shot!! I was wishing that it was nicer out so we could have stayed and enjoyed it more.

Thanks. It was a weird sky ... dark black in places, white white in places, blue in others and yes some sun. Weird skies to go along with the weird summer we are having so far
