Ashley Lily Scarlett October 2, 2014 at 2:22 am Beautiful, Ken. That’s my favourite kind of pallette and the composition is very pleasing to my eye. I would put this on the wall. Reply ↓

LensScaper October 2, 2014 at 5:06 am A sense of menace and also of light after the storm – depending on which way you read the story. Dramatic, for sure. Reply ↓

oneowner Post authorOctober 2, 2014 at 3:14 pm Thanks, Monte. When the wind comes blowing across that water it’s time to take shelter. But it sure is a powerful sight to see. Reply ↓
John October 2, 2014 at 9:22 am Usually something happens on a dark and stormy night! Who’s the protagonist? The bad guy? The love interest? Don’t leave us hanging! Great shot, incidentally… Reply ↓

Anita Jesse October 2, 2014 at 9:23 am I will join the crowd on that bit of color. It sets this apart. But, it’s that light breaking through above the color that makes this such a powerful and dramatic story. What a beautiful capture. Reply ↓
oneowner Post authorOctober 2, 2014 at 3:19 pm Thanks, Anita. My first thought was that the color gave it a science fiction look. Just a little bit. Reply ↓
Melinda Green Harvey October 2, 2014 at 10:35 am Excellent clouds. I like the way the image is open to interpretation – are the clouds going to overpower the light?, or will the light win out? Reply ↓
Meanderer October 2, 2014 at 10:56 am Love this image. The patch of pink makes the scene a little less threatening – and perhaps uplifting. I can imagine the title being pronounced in a Scottish accent with the emphasis on the rolling ‘rrrrs’ 🙂 Reply ↓

Malin H October 2, 2014 at 3:26 pm Now this is powerful, Ken! And I like the word stormyer. 🙂 Reply ↓

oneowner Post authorOctober 3, 2014 at 7:48 am Oh, yeah! We have had more than our share of rain this yesr. It stared raining moments after this was shot. Looks like rain today, too. Reply ↓
Jimi Jones (@JimiJones) October 3, 2014 at 6:28 pm A menacing sky and a slice of muted color makes this a really lovely capture, Ken. Reply ↓
ehpem October 8, 2014 at 6:33 pm I really like this photo Ken. This kind of weather is perfect for a well prepared photographer. We dont get it enough around here. Reply ↓
oneowner Post authorOctober 8, 2014 at 6:48 pm Thanks, ehpem. You should be thankful that you don’t see this type of weather very often. Reply ↓
ehpem October 8, 2014 at 9:23 pm But, I like it! Especially if I have rain and salt-spray protection for my camera, and my rubberised rain gear.

Yes, it’s a valid word. Awesome image with power!

Thanks, Mel. I love your imagination!

Stormyer works.. Great photo!
Thanks, MH.
Now this is powerful, Ken! And I like the word stormyer. 🙂

. . . I like ‘more stormy’.
Yes, but that’s not funny.
I want to knit something in this palette. Gorgeous colors.
Something for me?
It certainly looks serious out there! Did it start to rain?
Oh, yeah! We have had more than our share of rain this yesr. It stared raining moments after this was shot. Looks like rain today, too.
Excellent shot Ken
Thanks, John.
