Prairie Summer Storm

This image was taken in the Milk River area of Alberta in mid-July. I never get tired of the dramatic skies we can get around here. The original photo had a very small strip of landscape at the bottom, which I cropped for this WC.

1/50sec at f/8.0, ISO 250, 17-85mm lens @ 22mm, +1/3EV

That is awesome! I love all the little details in there.

This looks like one of those times when you aren't sure if you should take cover or watch.

Sure does look like a nasty storm rolling in, Karen. This is a great view at a prairie sky. I'm intrigued by the sense that this is a b&w image until I catch those subtle blues and greens in the llc. Well seen and captured.

This has great dramatic impact, the image is both powerful & beautiful Karen.
The bottom reminds me of a storm tossed sea, excellent tones and details :toast: :toast:
