    Nice capture, I can almost feel the clouds rolling.

    It might better if it was posted correctly. Waay out of shape. New member and trying to figure out how to post a picture.

    Actually, I'm trying to delete or repost.

    I think the "way out of shape" is a system glitch and it usually gets corrected by the moderators.

    Now it looks correct. Thanks for the kind comment. I was feeling really anxious there there for a moment, posting something that was messed up.

    Welcome Doug Nice image. I would prefer the color of the clouds grey rather than blue but it is personal preference.

    Interesting image, Doug. What I keep coming back to is the "lava glow" centre line on the highway.

    Is this a problem of a distraction, or just an observation ?

    Thanks all for the kind comments!

    A bit of both, I think. It looks like the saturation has been cranked up and while it works for most of the shot, the lines in the road should not be the first thing I see.

    Very attractive for the reasons already explained! My quibble is that the road leads my eye to the right and the brightest part of the sky pulls my eye to the left. Consider darkening that area of the sky just a bit so the result is that the brightest area of the sky is the other area more directly positioned above the road.

    If you had said this shot was taken yesterday, I would have fallen for it...It feels like that rain is ready to fall...

    Thank you for the kind words Izzie. Strangely, we didn't get rained on. It looked like the bottom was going to fall out and when I saw the holes in the clouds, I grabbed the camera!

    Thanks again!
