a fantastic capture pat: it looks like a painting ; only polarizing filter? looks much more sophisticated with the array of blue colors;
I like the stormy clouds above your head ;

Thank you so much Fred, yes, just the filter, it was such a spectacular sky that it actually overpowered the land below! After we left it poured down rain!

Comment from GaliaG
Wow, are those real clouds and not a paint on the frame?

Amazing, in Israel we do not see such a sky
excellent angle of shot, depth of field and composition

thanks for sharing

Dramatic capture.
Rolling clouds.
Dynamic skyline.
Various clouds formations.
Verdant foreground lends a natural setting.
Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely gorgeous.I love all the different shades of blue . interesting to have all shapes of clouds in one sky to look at. Terrific depth and focus. Great editing and framing. Just beautiful.

I've been working on costumes for the musical "Gypsy". I put in for full retirement August 1st. I,m getting excited and counting down the days .

Wow Pat, this photograph is simply magnificent. I don't think I've seen such gorgeous clouds before in a shot. These are amazing and this photograph immediately
caught my attention. What an incredible sky you have captured, and also the landscape to go with it. Really a beautiful piece and such a pleasure to view and review.

A remarkable bank of clouds that looks surreal hanging over this pretty landscape. The low horizon shows off the clouds and the colors are fantastic.

It is a amazing picture. The tones of blue all most look like it was painted. Maybe someone up above was painting that day using the sky as a canvas. It really is a beautiful picture. Thank you for sharing it.
