Default Dramatic Sky & Lone SeaGull

A few shots from yesterday. The sky was rather dramatic yesterday afternoon and I couldn't resist taking a few pictures. The third was a capture of a lone seagull, just thought I'd throw him in the mix! Thanks for viewing!

Love your skies, very dramatic and moody, I wouldn't have been able to resist capturing those either. Mr Gull is cute too - he looks very pensive. Cute feather markings too.

Dramatic and a little scary or spooky because of the trees. The shot definitely tells a story. Thanks for sharing.

I agree with Nicky. The skies do capture the mood, and the seagull does have that pensive look. He looks like he is thinking, "Get on with the shot!", or "Leave me alone to my solitude." TFS.

Those are beautiful shots. I love the composition in the first one, especially. I like photos of silhouetted trees and clouds. It always makes me think of Edgar Alan Poe.

Lots of drama in those skies, and very moody. Excellent monotones in the sea gull shot
