The dark sky looks dramatic, but I am not shure whether this reflects the authentic atmosphere. I would be interested in finding out more about the landscape, maybe that could help me understand your perception.

Jim, I found this cloud formation is quite interesting. The dark sky effect also provides a good conctast.

This has a classic B&W feel which I like. Very interesting clouds.

Thanks for the feedbacks.

Peter, this photo was taken during the scenic drive to King Canyon. The drive starts at fairly high altitude(8000ft) and ends at the bottom of North American's deepest canyon. This photo was taken at Junction View Point. The sky was filled with rapid change clouds with deepest blue as background. This scene reminded me of Ansel Adam's photo of cloud of over high sierra. I used red filter affect to deepen the blue to create contrast to the cloud.
