In Greek mythology 'Zeus' was the King Of The Gods,God of the Sky, Lightning and Thunder. So while spending the last two days with clients photographing the spring tides at Norfolk we where treated one evening to this amazing sunset,a mixture of several different cloud formations,dark,light angry looking clouds with the sun peering through. Here I shot in portrait composition as I wanted to capture and convey the sheer size and the different clouds,shapes and colours and also the very last waders flying to their overnight roost.But look deeper into the image and there is a mouth/lips that appears, maybe where Zeus, the god of the sky made his presence known.An amazing,powerful scence came over the whole coastline. Returning tomorrow, hoping for sunshine.

'Man what have you been smoking Zeus, Gods, Thunder, Seeing images, its a sunset mate, stay off the wacky backy it does you no good'... LOL Never had a drag of a fag in my life let along wacky stuff Danny,powerful image on the beach where this photo does'nt do this sunset justice. A little history always helps I feel too

Nothing wrong with waxing lyrical, Craig.

This image certainly deserves it.
Excellent.

Just about how I remember the evening too Craig. It was certainly a lot better than the following morning lol.

....and perhaps he'd eaten all the Knot

I hope you had a better morning yesterday (with more Knot present) than we had on Thursday - it was nice to see you again Craig and, by the way, that's one superb sunset image

All that Zeus stuff is fine by me , Craig but then, I'm an English teacher so what do you expect? I'm down there early October. If I get a sky like that I shall praise the gods and my 7D! Stunning shot!
